News about Jason Roy

Ali, wearing the armband until Jos Buttler recovers from a calf injury, believes that a squad that has retained some of the best limited-overs players this country has ever assembled does not need to carry the burden of lugging a favourites tag to the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia next month. In Twenty2021 this calendar year, England has already used 23 players, and nine more will face Asia Cup runners-up Pakistan for the first time.

EXCLUSIVE: When more than 50 English players are up for auction in South Africa for a new tournament, Graeme Smith is hoping that it will rise to second place only on the international stage to the IPL. Smith, who captained South Africa in a world-record 108 Tests and is now commissioner of the new SA20 league, has stated that the competition would bring the game to his country with a financial lifeline. And he predicted that domestic leagues around the world would only get better, at a time when many are worried about the future of the international game.

Jos Buttler (pictured) could remain on the sidelines throughout England's seven-match Twenty20 series against Pakistan in an attempt to guarantee his fitness for next month's World Cup. Buttler, 32, announced on Thursday that his calf injury would restrict him to the final two games at best, despite medical advice to start slow, adding that the tour's historic location and the possibility to work with England coach Matthew Mott were the primary reasons for his appearance. It's not bad, but it does come with a risk of recurrence,' says the physiotherapist. You don't want to push it too soon, especially with what we have in the future,' Buttler said.

PAUL NEWMAN: Jonny Bairstow may not have been ruled out of so much important Test and Twenty20 cricket as a result of his injury. Walking to the tee at the Pannal Golf Club in Leeds and Harrogate, Bairstow's local course, is not always a safe way to spend a day off. However, such was the seriousness of the injury to Bairstow's left leg when he slipped and collapsed, he'll miss his third Test against South Africa, the Twenty20 World Cup, and the Test series in Pakistan next week.

After breaking his left leg on the golf course in a bizarre rash, England was dealt a cruel blow on Friday. Bairstow, England's Test player of the year so far, collapsed while walking to a tee box at his local course near Leeds and will miss next week's third Test against South Africa, the Twenty20 World Cup, and the three-Test series in Pakistan. Bairstow will begin batting at the World Cup in Australia next month, replacing the injured Jason Roy, according to England's managing director.

PAUL NEWMAN: Rob Keys says England was unable to afford a World Cup wager against Jason Roy, but insists he has a future in international cricket. On Friday, Roy was the subject of a big name omission when managing director Key named a 15-man squad for the Twenty20 tournament next month after the Surrey opener had a run of poor form 'at the worst possible time.' However, Key believes there is ample white-ball cricket around the world for Roy, who has turned 32, to bring him right back and believes he could also play on the 50-over team.

As England has dropped one of the most important players in their white-ball revival after a string of failure, Roy, as expected, is the high-profile absentee from a 15-man squad named this morning. Chris Woakes and Mark Wood have recovered from injury to join the squad, but Jofra Archer, who is still missing from the team due to a stress fracture in his back, is set to return in October and November.

When England selects their squad for the Twenty20 World Cup on Friday, they are likely to draw a line under the names of Jason Roy and Matt Parkinson. Following a string of form, Roy, one of England's most prominent figures in the change of England's white-ball cricket, will be dropped, according to Sportsmail on Thursday. The Surrey opener will be a long time coming, at 33 years old. Lancashire's Parkinson is also expected to miss out, with England deciding that his leg-spin is simply not fast or good enough for the highest demands.

Jason Roy's abrupt decline in form could cost him a spot in what is supposed to be a heavily depleted England squad to tour Pakistan later this month. Roy has been a mainstay of the setup since Eoin Morgan's tenure in 2015, but he could also miss out on a Twenty20 World Cup spot. Tomorrow, the squad for Pakistan's seven-match tour and the 15-man team's departure to Australia in October will be selected.

WORLD OF CRICKET: Alex Hales' journey has to be either now or never. If he is missing when England's squad is named against Pakistan next month on Friday for their seven-match Twenty20 series, surely this is the end for a highly gifted yet ostracised figure. Hales, 33, is still strong enough as he continues to impress in franchise T20 cricket and in the Hundred for Trent Rockets, as well as the sudden departure of captain Eoin Morgan from Hales, which may have given the team a glimmer of hope for a recall for the World Cup in October. However, the evidence shows there is still no desire for turning within the camp, even though managing director Rob Key said the slate is now clean for Hales after his much-publicized fallout with England.

Liam Livingstone was ruled out of the Hundred with an ankle injury on the day he was drafted first pick by Melbourne Renegades in the inaugural Big Bash draft. The 29-year-old is the first England player to have health problems ahead of a busy spring-ball schedule. After a calf injury ruled him out of the Hundred and Jason Roy was left out of the Oval Invincibles team on Saturday due to lower back stiffness, Captain Jos Buttler said he will not be able to play all seven T20Is in Pakistan.

Australian cricketers have always been world class, and a soon-to-becoming documentary from the 2019 Ashes in England reveals how savage the likes of David Warner (pictured right) and Tim Paine (pictured left) have been against the old enemy. After the series was woven, Australia returned home with the urn, with both nations winning two tests. Ben Stokes' jaw-dropping results in the third test was a highlight for the locals.

AADAM PATEL AT OLD TRAFFORD Dawid Malan smashed a 98 at Old Trafford on Thursday as the Trent Rockets put off a record run chase in the Hundred against Jos Buttler's Manchester Originals. Malan led his 88 off to a mighty score of 190 with six balls remaining as his team slowed to a 190 target. Slow starts have long been a factor in the discussion about England's white-ball number three, with a focus on Malan's scoring at less than a run a ball at the start of his innings.

Curran saw Invincibles home with three balls remaining after being dropped on 46 by Adam Lyth in a match that was match-defining. Lyth himself had been banned from one before completing the fastest fifty in the history of The Hundred, with only 17 balls. Exceptional bowling from the frugal Sunil Narine (three for 11) restricted Superchargers to 157 for seven. It was a score that, thanks to Sam Curran's pyrotechnics, was not high enough. Jordan Cox (48 off 29) played a superb supporting role until Tom Curran (18 off seven) gave the victory to the home team in another breathless encounter in south London.

England's dramatic style under Brendon McCullum may devolve with troubling consequences, according to Dean Elgar. Elgar, South Africa's captain, had more than a passing interest in watching Ben Stokes' team's 3-0 victory over New Zealand earlier this summer, and that opting to the attacking 'Bazball' philosophy might leave England looking foolish in the long run. The new England style is quite novel.' "I don't think there's any longevity in brave cricket because I see things fall apart over time in Test cricket," Elgar told Wisden Cricket Monthly.

After his first-ball duck on Thursday, Jason Roy flopped yet again on Sunday as he was out for just 10 out of ten balls in the Hundred. Roy, who was playing for Oval Invincibles, called out Welsh Fire's David Payne at short fine leg and threw his bat in the air in utter rage. After only 197 runs in 11 white-ball games for England, the 32-year-old's miserable summer continued.
