Jason Roy pulls out of the IPL

Details of his statement here, not sure how much time this will free up to be with Surrey though. Fair play to him if he's putting himself and his family first rather than a pound note

He’ll also miss the early Championship games… https://www.kiaoval.com/jason-roy-to-take-short-break-from-cricket/

Notable they didn't rule him out of the entire pre-Blast Championship games. I think there is a future for him in red ball cricket rather than lime cordials in franchise leagues, personally.

Laurie Evans signs a white ball only contract which in reality just means the Blast as he’ll be playing the Hundred during the 50 over comp.

Blimey when was the last time he played a Championship game? I think it might have been in the Northants away last September. Other than that..

Arundel in August 2020. He didn’t play that Norhants game.

Now been given a suspended 2 match ban and £2,500 fine by the ECB for 'bringing the game into disrepute'. Asks more questions than it does answers
