Due to the increasing scope of franchise cricket across the world, in the last few years, many big cricketers have given up their country contracts and given importance to league cricket. New Zealand’s star pacer Trent Boult took this big decision last year but recently he told himself to be present for the World Cup. Now a cricketer who played an important role in making England the champion in the 2019 World Cup has started on this path. He has also taken a similar decision and has made himself available for franchise cricket, withdrawing from the country’s central contract. Till now this was the report but now the English cricketer himself has cleared it.
Actually we are talking about Jason Roy of England, about whom we had earlier told on the basis of a report that he can leave the central contract of England Cricket Board (ECB). Now this cricketer has done the same and has made up his mind to withdraw from the central contract. At the same time, this star opener has also given his answer regarding the ODI World Cup 2023 to be held in India this year. He wrote a long note on Instagram Story and gave complete details about it. He told that, he is not going away from England cricket. He discussed with the ECB about playing in Major League Cricket and the board will not pay him for the rest of the year, meaning he is withdrawing from the contract. Apart from this, he also said that he is a format player, so he will play in other leagues and England Cricket will not pay him for this. The board has also agreed on this.

Jason Roy posted clearing everything
Will Jason Roy play in World Cup 2023?
In the year 2019, England became the World Champion and Roy had a valuable contribution in that. He has said about the World Cup to be held this year that he will give priority to England cricket only. If the World Cup is to be held this year, his focus is completely on that. It is a matter of pride not only for me but for any player to get a chance to play for a country and get an international cap. It is a matter of pride for me to represent my country. I want to play for England as long as I can. I will be present as a format player without a contract. I will play other competitions (league cricket) but will be careful that it does not clash with the schedule of England cricket. Playing in different competitions will also help me as an England cricketer.
