Jason Roy insists he’s relishing his rivalry with Harry Brook as the race for World Cup selection hots up.Brook, 24, has enjoyed a stunning start to his international career across both red and white-ball formats as Roy, a key lynchpin in England’s 2019 World Cup-winning side, has struggled for recent form.
“I'm sure he'll be slightly disappointed about missing out, but I think he'll also understand with where the white-ball game is at.Roy knows the World Cup could be his last but is not ready to make a call on his England future just yet. Roy, speaking at the launch of Metro Bank and the ECB’s Women’s and Girls’ Fund, added: “We want to go and win the trophy and all that boring stuff.“There's a lot of guys out there that this could be their last world tournament, so we've got to make the most of it.
Metro Bank have partnered with the ECB to increase the number of women and girls in cricket, and today announced a pledge to treble the number of girls’ cricket teams by 2026.
