England 'set to axe Jason Roy' for Pakistan tour and T20 World Cup amid poor form

England have reportedly decided to drop opener Jason Roy for the upcoming tour of Pakistan and the T20 World Cup following his recent struggles for form.

Roy has been ever present in England's white-ball revolution under former captain Eoin Morgan, but has endured a horrid recent run with the bat. And according to a report from the Telegraph , Roy is set to 'pay the price for a dreadful personal summer' when England announce their squad for the series in Pakistan on Friday.

The opener managed just 76 runs from 98 balls in six T20Is for England this summer and has failed to find any real fluency in The Hundred. Roy has scored just 51 runs in six innings for the Oval Invincibles, a run that has included three ducks and seen him score at a strike rate of 100.
