Wright acknowledged the gravity of the decision, stating, “It’s not a decision we’ve taken lightly.” He revealed that Roy had been initially considered for the opening batting position alongside Jonny Bairstow in the World Cup squad. However, the unpredictable nature of sports and the occurrence of injuries forced a change in plans.

“Everyone was told ‘Look, this is the 15 we’re looking to take to the World Cup,’ but unfortunately that’s the ruthless side of sport, isn’t it? It’s not the pleasant side of sport, but changes do have to be made,” Wright explained.

Wright also mentioned that Roy had declined the opportunity to participate in the ODI series against Ireland, scheduled to start this week. Nevertheless, he remains a potential replacement for the World Cup if the need arises.

The 33-year-old Roy, who was a part of England’s victorious World Cup team four years ago, has not yet confirmed whether he will make himself available for the defending champions.

Wright expressed empathy for Roy, stating, “As you can imagine, he’s absolutely gutted, and I wouldn’t expect anything else. I feel for him, as I feel for anyone you leave out.”

“We certainly haven’t ruled him out. For Jason now, I’m sure he’s got some thinking to do over the initial disappointment, but we’ve made clear that if there’s an injury at the top of the order, there’s definitely the option for him to come in as the reserve.”

England is set to face New Zealand in the opening match of the World Cup on October 5.

Cricket sensation Jason Roy is set to depart from his England contract to participate in the inaugural season of Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States.

The dynamic opening batsman, fresh off his stint with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League, is said to have received an offer from the Los Angeles Knight Riders, the MLC franchise associated with his former team.

According to reports, the 32-year-old has been presented with a lucrative deal worth approximately £300,000 ($370,000) for the first two seasons of the upcoming American Twenty20 tournament, slated to commence in July.

Roy’s demotion from England’s central contract list last year resulted in him being placed on an incremental contract, entitling him to earn between £60,000 and £70,000.

In a statement released on Thursday, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that Roy’s participation in the US league is contingent upon him relinquishing the remainder of his ECB incremental contract, an agreement that has been mutually accepted by both parties.

The ECB would like to clarify that Jason’s decision will not impact his future selection for England teams,” the statement emphasized. “We have complete confidence and trust in Jason’s dedication to English cricket.”

Although the explosive opening batsman did not participate in England’s successful T20 World Cup campaign in October and November, he has retained his position in the 50-over squad and aims to be part of the team’s defense in this year’s 50-over World Cup in India.

In a statement shared on Twitter, the Surrey player assured that he would never turn his back on England. “Representing my country remains the proudest moment of my career as a professional cricketer,” stated Roy, who has amassed close to 6,000 international runs across all formats. “My priority is to continue playing for England for many more years.”

He further explained, “As a player without a central contract, focusing on a single format, I saw the opportunity to participate in this competition since it doesn’t clash with England’s schedule. Engaging in competitive cricket benefits me as an England player, and I aim to play as much as possible.”

The landscape of international cricket is evolving rapidly, with franchise leagues worldwide offering substantial salaries to top players. Major League Cricket organizers have promised the introduction of “six new teams and a new sport at the world-class level in the United States.”

Notable signings for the league include Australian stars Aaron Finch, Marcus Stoinis, and Mitchell Marsh, as well as former South Africa captain and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock.

Liton Kumar Das took batting practice in the Kolkata Knight Riders jersey for the first time at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. Although the team did not return after playing the match in Ahmedabad, the Tiger batter was accompanied by another foreign recruit of the team, Jason Roy. If all goes well, Litton could be seen in a foreign franchise league for the first time on April 14. In Bangladesh, the impression of Baisakh is on cricket. But the mood of IPL Boishakh is different. Not only Indian cricketers, but foreigners also participated in this event. In that vein, Liton Kumar Das can make this year’s Pahela Baishakh memorable for Kolkata Knight Riders.

Playing in IPL for the first time, the Tiger batsman started training for the team. While the entire team was returning from Ahmedabad after playing a match, Liton was sweating it out at Eden Gardens. Lytton’s first partner was Jason Roy. With Shakib Al Hasan’s name removed, Kolkata has added the English batsman to the team. In the fight for a chance in the XI, Lytton’s biggest rival is the star cricketer. Although neglected in the national team, Jason Roy had a great last Pakistan Super League. 245 runs in 1 century in 7 innings. Strike rate over 166′.Litton, on the other hand, goes pretty close. This year in 20 over cricket, he played 6 innings for the national team and scored 229 runs. In their 2 fifties, his strike rate is also excellent.

However, there is a question about which position this cricketer, who batted in the middle order for the red-greens, will be considered for the Knights. Apart from opening, Rahmatullah Gurbaz also kept wickets for the team. But Andre Russell’s failure in the middle order worries Kolkata. So both Jason-Litton can play for Shah Rukh Khan’s team in the April 14 match.

In this year’s IPL, Shakib Al Hasan was pulled into the team by Kolkata Knight Riders. However, the Tiger all-rounder withdrew his name from this year’s IPL due to the busyness of the national team and DPL. Kolkata has taken English batsman Jason Roy as his replacement. However, it was said that Liton will fly to Kolkata after the Ireland series. But before that, Roy joined the Kolkata team on Saturday (April :sunglasses: Jason Roy has joined KKR in Kolkata via their Facebook page. Greeting Roy, Calcutta wrote, ‘We know very well that you have been waiting for this moment. Welcome, Roy Da!’Meanwhile, Tiger batsman Liton Das got his first chance in the world’s most expensive league. This young star has an opportunity to match himself. So, like Shakib, he also got an offer to withdraw himself, but he did not respond to the offer.

Meanwhile, Liton is scheduled to fly to Kolkata on Sunday (April 9). Although his team will be in Ahmedabad then. After that, Liton will be available against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 14, April 16 (Mumbai Indians), April 20 (Delhi Capitals), April 23 (Chennai Super Kings), April 26 (Royal Challengers Bangalore), and Gujarat Titans on April 29. The Kolkata franchise has tasted 1 win and 1 loss by playing 2 matches so far this season. After a 7-run Duckworth-Lewis defeat against Punjab Kings, the Nitish Rana-led team beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by a huge margin of 81 runs at the Eden Gardens.

If T20 is a game of four-sixes, the Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators matches in PSL could be its ideal advertisement. Both sides scored explosive centuries. 483 runs of the match after wearing a surprise! Peshawar Zalmir’s 240 runs in Rawalpindi on Wednesday (March 8) led Quetta Gladiators to the top with 10 balls in hand. Jason Roy scored a century for Quetta in response to Babar Azam’s century of Peshawar. Babar Azam’s 115 runs from 65 balls and Saim Ayyub’s 74 runs from 34 balls, who batted earlier today, collected 240 runs by losing 2 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs.

Babar’s innings of 115 runs had 15 fours and 3 sixes. This is the eighth century in T20I’s career. The 20-year-old Saim hit 6 fours and 5 sixes in his innings. To win, Gladiators had to win by averaging the record of chasing lakhs in PSL. For which it was necessary for someone in the team to do something superhuman. Jason Roy, who recently played the ODI series against Bangladesh, took that responsibility on his shoulders. Another opener Martin Guptill departed with 21 runs off 8 balls but Roy played a superhuman inning of 145 runs off 63 balls. He hit 20 fours and 5 sixes on the way to ensure the victory of the team.

Shakib Al Hasan stopped opener Jason Roy who was batting flawlessly from the start of England’s innings. However, before that, Jason Roy played an excellent inning of 132 runs with the help of 18 fours and one six off 124 balls. The English are on their way to a big collection with his bat.

Jason Roy scored his 12th century in the 115th match of his career in the second ODI of the series on Friday.

In the first ODI of the three-match series, England won by 3 wickets chasing a target of 210 runs on the back of Dawid Malan’s century.
Today, the English are on the way to making a big score with the aim of winning the series in the second ODI. Jason Roy played a responsible role from the beginning of the innings to give the team a challenging score.
