A poor show in the World Cup prompted the England management the inclusion of new talent in the ODI squad. With Alex Hales all but nailing down one of the two openers slot, the Barmy army was looking for a solid accomplice and they finally found one this year.

In came the fearless Jason Roy, a powerful stroke maker, who is arguably even more aggressive and attacking in comparison with Hales. Despite having a rough start to his England career, he has now found firm footing in England’s ODI team.

His recent century against Pakistan had all the class and grace you would expect from some of the finest ODI openers of the last two decades. His ability to time the ball is exquisite and he is quite rightly a man who has a bright future in front of him.
