Jason Roy 'set to lose England central contract' after T20 World Cup axing

England opener Jason Roy is reportedly set to lose his central contract, with the 32-year-old in line to be downgraded to an increment deal after being dropped for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Roy was axed after a terrible run of form, having scored just 76 runs from 98 balls in six T20Is for England this summer before managing just 51 runs off 51 balls in six innings for Oval Invincibles in The Hundred.

And the Telegraph are reporting that Roy will 'drop from a full deal to an increment contract' as a result of him losing his place in England's T20I side. However, Managing Director of England Men's cricket Rob Key did say he expects Roy to remain a key part of England's ODI plans ahead of their World Cup defence next year in India.
