Champions Trophy: England opener Jason Roy to play despite poor form

Jason Roy

England will pick Jason Roy for their Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh and for the remainder of the tournament too. Roy's place at the top of the order appeared to be under pressure after his run of four single-figure scores in his last five ODI innings.

But England captain Eoin Morgan spelled out that Roy will play. "The decision will remain the same throughout the tournament," he said. "Jason Roy is part of our strong opening partnership with Alex Hales, and he'll definitely play," he added.
