Jason Roy has been backed to the hilt by his teammates to find his big-hitting form in Sunday’s final England white ball game of the summer.
Roy has failed to fire in the way that he can across the past month of white ball cricket to leave many wondering what is eating the powerful opener. Ahead of the Bristol T20 on Wednesday, Roy opened up on the difficulties he had during the Covid bubble era but was now delighted to back playing in front of big crowds.
“I felt surrounded by the game during Covid,” said Roy. “I really struggled with my headspace and was just getting through it. Now we’re back in front of a crowd and I’m in a better headspace so hopefully a score is around the corner. I’m feeling good about the way I’m batting but not getting the runs and it feels a strange place to be.”
