Jones, who boasts 95 caps for Wales and five for the Lions, has been overlooked together with versatile back James Hook, another ex-Lion.
However, coach Warren Gatland insists the door has not been closed on any player ahead of next year's Rugby World Cup.
"There is a lot of experience that has come back in, 12 players who were injured in the summer and didn't tour South Africa, they are back and fit and we have a couple of exciting youngsters as well," said Gatland.
"When you look through the squad there is a huge amount of experience. We've taken a lot of things into account and made some tough decisions.
"We've had to weigh up a balance of players who play in Wales and outside, due to how often they can train and are with us but we are really happy with the squad.
"We are looking to the future and the next 12 months ahead with this squad but it doesn't close the door for anyone not selected."
Wales, who will face Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and South Africa on consecutive weekends next month, have named a solitary uncapped player - Ospreys' loosehead prop Nicky Smith.
Gatland added: "Nicky Smith has been playing exceptionally well for the Ospreys and we have been impressed with him and it's a great opportunity."
Captain Sam Warburton is among those to return from injury, together with the likes of Bradley Davies, Justin Tipuric and James King.
