The Men's One-Day Cup, a domestic cricket competition in England and Wales, has been renamed the Dean Jones Trophy in honor of the late Australian cricketer Dean Jones.

The competition, which features 18 first-class counties and two guest teams, will now carry Jones' name as a tribute to his legacy, following his sudden death in 2020. The trophy aims to keep his memory alive within the cricket community, reflecting his impact both on and off the field.
