There was a lot of talk about how Jason Roy could turn out to be England’s Virender Sehwag at the top of the order. However, the move seems to have backfired. After having made his Test debut against Ireland in July earlier this year, Roy was fast-tracked into the Ashes squad. But he has been found out.

The England white-ball opener’s technique has been found out and the Australian pacers have exploited that really well. In fact, they have troubled Roy both on the inside and the outside edge and hence, Roy has been constantly troubled. Moreover, his attacking style of play hasn’t really worked on pitches where the ball has moved around.

Roy has been one of England’s key batsmen in the shorter formats. He has a very good record too. In fact, he averages almost 43 and strikes at a rate of 107.40 in ODI cricket. However, he hasn’t cracked the code in the longest format and doesn’t seem to fit the bill for it as well.
