  • Roy Gets Suspended Ban And Fined 2500 For Undisclosed Misconduct

Roy gets suspended ban and fined £2500 for undisclosed misconduct

The destructive English opener Jason Roy has been banned from playing England’s next two games and fined £2500 by the England Cricket Board (ECB) as he admitted committing some misconduct, which hasn't been revealed yet. Further, he has been suspended for 12 months dependent on good behaviour and asked to pay the fine by 31st March.


As per the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC), that announced the sanctions, the English opener admitted a charge of conducting himself in a manner which may be detrimental to the interests of cricket or which may bring the game of cricket, the ECB as well as himself into disrepute. The issued statement doesn’t have any mention of what exactly Roy did to deserve this and therefore, a lot of confusion has been created among the cricket fans in this regard.  


The Cricket Disciplinary Commission changed its regulations in 2020 and stressed that the reasons for the panel’s findings should be published in full length on the ECB’s website unless the panel itself finds some appropriate causes for not disclosing the same in a detailed manner. Therefore, as per the amended regulations of the CDC, in the latter case, the findings should be published discretely or not published at all. So, it is understood that CDC probably considers it inappropriate to disclose the details of Roy’s misconduct. 


The dashing English opener Jason Roy was recently in headlines after making himself unavailable for the IPL 2022 owing to bio-bubble fatigue. Added to that, his club Surrey declared that the veteran opener would also miss the initial games of the Championship season as he has taken an indefinite break from cricket in order to spend some quality time with his family.

PAK vs AUS | 3rd Test | Naseem Shah’s reserve swing headlines Day 2 as game still hangs in balance

Things were following their usual path in the third Test match of the series between Pakistan and Australia as Cameron Green and Alex Carey went on to hit individual 50s early Tuesday, 22 March. The pitch has turned out to be a notorious point of contention this series, with bowlers having little to no assistance from the deck for large parts of the Test matches. However, when things looked bleak for Pakistan on Tuesday, Naseem Shah used every bit of his Pakistani charm to find the slightest bit of reverse swing on the deck, to plough through the Australia lower middle order helping Pakistan make an unlikely comeback in the first innings. Naseem’s spell came at a time when Green and Carey were finding middle of the bat with most of their attacking shots, leaving senior pros like Hasan Ali clueless as to what should be done. Naseem first got Green with a stunning ball, pitched at a teasing length, that tailed at the very last minute, leaving Green look like an amatuer. He bowled the Australian through his defence and affected the downfall of the Australian order. Shah alongside another Shah in Shaheen found the energy and the spirit to ping in two thundering yorkers bowling out Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Swepson respectively to cap the Australian innings at 391 runs, something that at a point of time looked like could go on to 500-550 by the end of the day. Both pacers took four each while the spinners Nuaman Ali and Sajid Khan took one each - prized wickets of Alex Carey and Usman Khawaja respectively. Three batsmen this innings were denied centuries, with all of them playing tremendous innings of their own. Alex Carey seems to have found form after falling into the hotel pool in Karachi hitting one 90s and one 60s already. Alongside Carey, Cameron Green was also left stranded at 79 against a brilliant delivery after batting valiantly for 163 balls. Coming into bowl, Australia were able to manage the lone wicket of Imam-ul-Haq, who was caught plumb in front by Pat Cummins, who has made it a habit to produce moments of magic in dead pitches. At the end of day’s play, Pakistan’s cautious approach bore them 90 runs after 39 overs at the loss of just one wicket. Opener Abdullah Shafique (45 off 117) was in the crease alongside Azhar Ali (30 off 79). The moving day of the Test match can prove to be crucial for the result of this game. If Pakistan do not choose to push for a result, they could end up batting slowly for long sessions and kill the game. But if Australia can manage to find reverse like they did in the first innings of the second Test match, things could get very interesting in the final Test of a dry series.
