OTD 1990: Jason Roy was born
Attacking stroke-play, destructive batting and shots all around the ground, Jason Roy was regarded as one of the pillars of England’s white-ball resurgence, playing a key role in the Three Lions’ triumph in the 2019 World Cup at home. Eoin Morgan’s side has often, although debatably, been credited with a revolution in the 50-over format with their batting and bowling template, and Roy was one of the vital cogs in that well-oiled machine. In an international career that spanned eight years, Roy is fondly remembered as an architect in many famous wins for England in white-ball cricket, a void which the team have yet to fill, especially in the 50-over format.
