I will never leave England – Jason Roy

It is my proudest moment to represent my country as a professional cricketer. I hope to play for England for many more years, that is my priority. I have had frank and helpful discussions with the ECB regarding my participation in Major League Cricket. The ECB was happy for me to play in the competition, as long as they didn’t have to pay me for the remaining year of the contract.
