He scored more than 6000 ODI runs in 164 games and was a master in the field and between the wickets, with the Cricket Australia praising Jones as “a pioneer in the limited-overs format that paved the way for future generations”.

Jones passed away in 2020, aged 59.

“Dean Jones is an icon of the game and pioneer in one day cricket, who entertained fans around the world wherever he played,” chief executive Nick Hockley said.

“He was a World Cup winner, an innovator and possessed one of the best records in 50-over cricket for the era that he played. We are delighted to acknowledge his legacy in perpetuity by naming our premier one-day domestic competition in his honour.

“I’d like to thank the thousands of fans who voted on our digital platforms and to the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame Committee for ensuring a fair process in selecting Dean from an incredible list of legends of the limited-overs game.”

Michael Bevan’s incredible record and contribution to the limited-overs format was also recognised, with the player of the final to be named the Michael Bevan Medal.

The Dean Jones Trophy and Michael Bevan Medal will be presented for the first time at the Final on March 1.
