The daughter of a late cricket legend has paid an emotional tribute to her father after tying the knot in the Philippines.
Dean Jones is widely regarded as one of Australian cricket’s most beloved players and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019.
The stylish batsman who played for his country in the 1980s and 1990s passed away in September 2020 at the age of just 59.
He suffered a stroke at his hotel in Mumbai, India, while commentating on the Indian Premier League.
Last Wednesday, Phoebe Jones – one of the Victorian’s three children – married her partner Dario Gomez on the island of Boracay in the Philippines.
