Jason Roy signs up with Sunrisers Hyderabad as replacement for Mitchell Marsh

Sunrisers Hyderabad have signed up England batsman Jason Roy as replacement for Mitchell Marsh, who has made himself unavailable for the entire season owing to personal reasons.

Marsh, who made his Indian Premier League debut in 2010 has played a total of 21 IPL games. His replacement, Jason Roy made his IPL debut in 2017 playing for Gujarat Lions & later featured for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in the 2018 IPL edition. He has played a total of 8 matches and scored 179 runs with one half-century to his name.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have acquired Roy at his base price of INR 2 Crore.

Happy that Roy has been selected. Although with Warner,Williamson,and Bairstow as batting options.Then Rashid Khan and Jason Holder as locks due to their bowling , don't see Roy getting much game time. I would probably go with Warner and Bairstow as openers.
 
He couldn’t have chosen a worse team to sign for.

Warner & Bairstow is the best opening pair in IPL and both are overseas players.
 
Like what he brings to the English LOI side as a whole.

Is one of the batters English LOI team relies on. Is more valuable to the team than just a quick opener.
The freakish depth of batting resources England has means that even if he doesn't get to play or has to miss some games, they have apt names to stand up and do his job aka Hales, Billings, Livingstone(don't think Duckett is good enough and Banton is ready yet)
 
Bizzare selection. They don't need a top order player but a solid lower order finisher. Their side is top heavy but weak in middle order.

Warner+
Bairstow+
Pandey
Garg
Abhishek
Holder+
Samad
Rashid+
Bhuvi
Sandeep/Shahbaz
Natarajan

The bowling is top notch but what they need is an overseas middle order batsman and they are buying the likes of Williamson and Roy.

Exactly.
SRH management is brainless like RCB.
Already they have heavy top order, no need to take Roy.
Warner, Rasheed, Kane, Holder/Bairstow will fill OS quota.
Dont know what is the point of picking Roy.

You need to include Jadav in that list in middle order.

I agree but the only reason I can think why they signed him is Warner is nursing a groin injury, if he misses any part of the tournament Roy can step in.

Also are you sure Bairstow will start? SRH fortunes changed last year when Holder came in and Saha played as a keeper. Williamson did well at 4 as well, the most interesting thing about SRH this season is how they will use Bairstow ,Roy, and Williamson.

Most certainly. Bairstow didn’t have a great season last time around but he played brilliantly in India in the white ball leg.

SRH would definitely look to capitalize on his great form.
 
A team like KKR could really use Roy.

Narine run as an aggressive hack at the top of the order is over and he looks like a spent force with the ball as well.

He could easily replace him in the KKR XI with another local spinner getting a change alongside Kuldeep.

SRH is certainly the last team that needs him.

Even if they don’t want to open with Bairstow, he has shown he can bat at 3 or 4.

Lol comparing worst brainless rcb team with srh who are consistent performers over the years reaching so many playoffs. They are the best available team after mi in terms of planning and buying players. Wait and see how they use roy.

Varun C is KKR's primary domestic spinner now. Team management has rightly lost their faith in Kuldeep.
 
Can’t wait to watch him bat again although hopefully he fails against us because if he fires we will lose. Absolutely phenomenal LOI player. The type of player that all young top order Limited Overs batsmen in the modern era should aspire to be like.

Roy - avg 40 str rate 107
Sehwag - avg 35 str rate 104
If we account for era difference then I think both of them are on Par. The difference being that Sehwag's style of play wasn't really suited to his time, he would be a top draw in this era.

Roy just has more impact than Sehwag in limited overs cricket, and he will play for a few more years. Sehwag really underachieved in the shorter formats.
 
Should open the bowling with a leggie today in t20i to Roy. Did the trick in WC19 by Imran Tahir and Shadab.
 
Roy and Hales are a deadly combo. England mgmt needs to forgive hales.
 
Roy seems to have gone off the boil a bit. Hits some savage boundaries and progresses to 30ish, but then gets himself out before he can really have a serious bearing on the match.
 
Seems he may be out of the T20 World Cup due to a strain/injury in his left calf.

Seemed an innocuous run, really unfortunate to be out of the tournament at this stage:

Well it sort of weakens England's batting. Billings will most likely come in at and Bairstow will open.

England might have been running low on gas now with loss of momentum. NZ/India/Pak would be breathing better now. Australia on the other hand seems to be peaking.
 
Morgan in the post-match conference:

Q. What can you tell us about Jason Roy's injury?

EOIN MORGAN: That it's his calf. It obviously didn't look great. And we'll wait until tomorrow to see what his movement is like. Probably send him for a scan and then go from there. Apart from that, can't tell you much.

Q. Do you feel that his tournament is over or is it too early to say that?

EOIN MORGAN: It's difficult to assume. Obviously we're all hopeful that he comes through in some manner or there's some remedy to get him through one, if not two games. But we need to do what's best for Jason ultimately and then the team.

Q. Can you speak about what a blow that might be if it were to be the end for Jason? We've seen in 2019, what an integral part of the team he is. How important is he to you?

EOIN MORGAN: He's unbelievably important. He's a guy that epitomises everything that we are about in the changing room and the way that we play. You see how commanding he is at the top of the order, not only in T20 cricket but 50-over cricket as well. Obviously two different partners in the two formats. But yeah, he's as close as we get to surmising how the changing room should play.

From ECB:

Jason Roy will be going for a scan later and we will have further news on his injury and the outcome of his scan tomorrow.
 
England have confirmed star opener Jason Roy is out for the remainder of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 after suffering a calf injury.

Roy’s injury is the second major blow England has suffered during their campaign, with fast bowler Tymal Mills going down with a thigh injury last week. Mills was replaced by Reece Topley.

Roy’s presence at the top of the order will be missed by Eoin Morgan’s side, with the star opener boasting an average of 25.30 and strike rate of 144.93 in the format.

"He's unbelievably important," Morgan said after England's loss to South Africa. "He's a guy who epitomises everything that we are about in the changing room and the way we play.

"You see how commanding he is at the top of the order… he's as close as we get to surmising how the changing room should play."
 
Jason Roy ruled out of the T20 World Cup

England batter Jason Roy has been ruled out of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with a torn left calf.

Roy sustained the injury batting in the T20 World Cup Super 12s match against South Africa on Saturday in Sharjah. Results of the scan on Sunday night revealed the extent of the injury.

Commenting on the injury, Roy, said:

“I’m gutted to be ruled out of the World Cup. It is a bitter pill to swallow.

“I will be staying on to support the boys, and hopefully, we can go all the way and lift that trophy. It has been an unbelievable journey so far, and we have to continue expressing ourselves and concentrating on us.

“The rehab has already started, and even though I’ve torn my calf, I’m going to give myself the best chance of being ready for the T20 tour of the Caribbean at the start of next year.”

Hampshire’s James Vince has been added to the England World Cup squad following his role as travelling reserve.
 
Massive blow for England, he is truly a world-class opener. But, if any team can make do without such a calibre of T20I batsman, it's England.
 
Jason Roy has been named in the starting XI today for the Quetta Gladiators.
 
Gone mad Roy!

Jason Roy speaking at end of the game against LQ:

LHr14zx.png


Was it the best innings you played

"Do you know what, I think it really is; its been a long time since my last T20 hundred and that was a really special feeling; In my first game to chase down a total like that was an incredible feeling and to put on a partnership with Vince was even better"

How important is the win?

"Absolutely, its always the later end of the tournament that is important bit; We have 2 wins from 5 so we have to keep winning, its as simple as that"

A batsman who genuinely invokes fear in you as a bowler!

Cold blooded T20 opener!
 
Took our frontline bowlers to the cleaners lol ‘, the dude has been so unlucky with injuries but every time he comes back after a layoff he seems to be in a hurry to make up for lost time & boy does he go all out or what.. fearless
Amongst the elite of t20 openers & in this form he is unstoppable
 
The guy is just different level.

One of only a few batters in the modern game who can smash T20 hundreds at the sort of strike-rate he did today.

No bowler in the world can stop him when he is on his game.

Jason Roy reflects on his century last night, stand with James Vince and taking on Shaheen Shah Afridi and Rashid Khan.

"It was an incredible feeling out there - It has been a long time since my last hundred and to do it for Quetta when the chips are down and we needed to win was an incredible feeling"

"I knew we had to get a good start because batting against the new ball is the best time to bat so I tried to get the team to a good start"

"That partnership with Vincey - he's always great to bat with; He's got a clear mind and he's got great knowledge of the game and we had a lot of fun out there"

"I had to go (at the start) because I know that Shaheen swings the ball so the quicker I can make the ball get older the better it would be for us, and the best way to do that was to hit the advertising boards as hard as possible"

"Lahore Qalandars have a great bowling line-up but it was a great wicket but we bowled well up front and I think our powerplay was the difference"

"Rashid Khan and I always have good battles; He's a class bowler and very very clever and in one over he made me look like a fool but it was a lot of fun out there"

Jason Roy Sharing His Next Plans After Storming 100 in HBL PSL 7.

His inclusion has completely changed the dynamics of the QG team, bowlers now have the confidence that no matter how many runs they concede, they have the batting firepower to chase down anything comfortably. QG batsmen now have the confidence to go hard at the opposition bowlers from ball one and Sarfaraz looks much calmer and at ease than usual.

Just shows how the inclusion of one world class player in the team makes a huge difference
 
The only problem QG could have is that they rely on him too much and they look to him to do the bulk of the scoring and others take it easy.

If they did have this team at the beginning of the psl they would definitely be in the top 4
 
I’m sure just like everyone else [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] would agree with me when I say that Jason Roy prioritised the PSL over the IPL.🤪
 
Savak said:
If that paycheque was $2 million, would he have withdrawn?
Click to expand...

He would be crazy to do so. I don’t think his agent would let him skip it because that would be $20-50k of the agent’s payday. So many dynamics involved with that kind of money.
 
Pakistanis have a tremendous sense of inferiority complex sometimes.

When PSL got postponed due to Covid cases, it was incompetence of our system. When it happened to almost every other team in every other sport including Premier League, NBA, Olympics, IPL etc, it was individual player issues.

It is the same case with bubble fatigue.

Yes, IPL has more money and top players in the world - so that is indeed a legitimate reason to prioritize IPL. But this is not to say PSL isn't an excellent product on its own. There is a place for both.

In fact Hales and Stirling flew back - which shows how blessed PSL is.

I bet any mishap on the Australia tour, and us Pakistanis will start moaning again. A sign of slave mentality.
 
England opener Jason Roy has pulled out of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. New franchise Gujarat Titans had bought the batter for his base price of Rs 2 crore at the auction.

Roy informed the Ahmedabad franchise about his decision last week, and a replacement is yet to be named.

The reason for his unavailability is the extended bio-bubble stay, which would have kept him away from his family, which includes his newborn baby, for more than two months.

This is the second time Roy pulled out of an IPL season. He had missed the 2020 edition due to personal reasons after being bought for Rs 1.5 crore by Delhi Capitals.

Roy was the best batter for Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League. He scored two fifties and a hundred at a strike rate of 170.22.

Totally agreed.

Criticism for the sake of it has become a second nature of many. Definitely constructive criticism should be there but, if one starts to criticize every single thing without looking at the world around then even things which require a concrete criticism and need to be highlighted get mixed with the whole noise.
 
Bubble fatigue is real. After all players are human and have to look out at their mental health.
But this has put Gujrat Titans in trouble here. New joinee trying to build team and opener opting out will impact a lot.

Also I won't be surprised if Roy doesn't play again in IPL. Unless his contract remains valid for future seasons and Gujrat fails miserably this season and need an impact player desperately.
These teams spend millions to participate and players opting out at last moment hampers their campaign badly.
 
<b>Jason Roy: England batter takes 'short break' from cricket</b>

England batter Jason Roy has taken a "short, indefinite break from cricket" to spend time with his family.

The 31-year-old has pulled out of the Indian Premier League and will miss the start of the County Championship.

Roy was set to play for new franchise Gujarat Titans in the IPL.

"After more than two years living under Covid restrictions and in a number of bubbles, I feel now is the right time to be with my wife and young children," he told the Surrey website.

Surrey's County Championship season begins at Edgbaston against Warwickshire on 7 April with Roy expected to miss "the early rounds" of the competition.

"Everyone at Surrey is here to support Jason and fully understands his decision to step away from the game for a period of time in order to be with his family," Alec Stewart, the club's director of cricket, said.

"When he is ready to return to cricket, we will be here ready to help and prepare him for his upcoming challenges in the game."

England's next one-day international is not until 17 June when they play the Netherlands.
