Jones, is keen for his side to take advantage of the exciting cricket the team have played, with a positive mindset and calm nature at the forefront of their good form.
“Anytime you’re in a final, anytime you have an opportunity to win trophies for Worcestershire or for the club, hopefully it’s going to be a great day. 21 years has been a long time, so to get to a List A final is massive.
“We’ve played some amazing cricket this comp and just keeping that intent that we’ve had in the field, with bat and ball, I know it’s cliches and stuff like that, but it’s always about taking a positive option when we can, and if we do that, we give ourselves the best chance going into this game by having the right mindset.
“I think in honesty, in finals and stuff like that, it can get a bit frantic at times.
“So by staying calm and being present and showing that intensity that we’ve played with is ultimately, hopefully is going to give us the best chance.”
Jones, averaging a sensational 56.75 in this year’s competition, has excelled for the rapids in what has been a seismic middle order effort during the 50-over competition.
The middle order batter says tomorrow’s cup final is a chance to repay the people close to the players who have sacrificed time and commitments and allowed them to flourish during the 2025 campaign.
“There’s a lot of people coming from the club and obviously the families that are all involved with all the lads.
“It’ll just be really special. I think the whole point and the whole reason why you play cricket is to win trophies and to do it in front of your friends and family.
“They have given up and sacrificed so much for you as cricketer. Your kids, wives and girlfriends. So they’re ultimately the biggest support, the biggest fans, and it’d be great to lift the trophy in front of them.”
