Jones has been named an international athlete ambassador for the Games, which involve 20 sports and will take place from 12 to 28 June.

The 21-year-old was in action for the first time this year at the weekend, when she won a gold medal at the European Clubs’ Championship in Antalya.

Jones, who is also preparing for the WTF World Championships in May, said: "My aim is to do less competitions this year so I have got to try and nail the ones I’m involved in.

"It’s great to think I will be one of the faces of the Baku Games. It’s a brilliant honour not just for me but for the sport, and shows the profile is getting higher and higher.”
