Roy contributed 5 and 72 runs with the bat in the two innings of the only Test match against the Irish team. Besides, he also amassed 44✃3 runs in 7 innings at the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.
Cricket experts were all in praise for the young lad. England coach Trevor Bayliss said that Roy is a good prospect. He can stabilize the top order – a major drawback for the England Test side “for the last six or seven years”.
England and Australia will lock horns in the Ashes ꧑series from August 1 to Sep🔜tember 16.
