Jason Roy Returns to Red-Ball Cricket with Surrey After Four-Year Hiatus

England’s World Cup-winning opener Jason Roy has made an unexpected return to red-ball cricket, being named in Surrey’s XI for their County Championship match against Warwickshire at Edgbaston. Roy, now 34, has a respectable first-class record, averaging 36.46 across 87 matches with nine centuries, including a career-best 143 against Lancashire in 2015. His last red-ball outing came during the Covid-impacted 2020 season in the Bob Willis Trophy, where he managed scores of 4 and 14. Roy’s comeback adds a fresh dynamic to Surrey’s campaign, and fans will be eager to see if he can recapture his red-ball prowess.
