“I’m extremely embarrassed and apologetic to my team-mates and fans for this moment of stupidity. I want to apologise to Surrey as a club and all the members. I’ve never been so motivated and so positive about my game, and I assure you I will learn from my mistake as I am my own biggest critic,” Roy further added.

Jason Roy looked in great touch during the limited-overs series against Australia and India. Against the Aussies in particular, Roy was simply at his imperious best and smashed a couple of stunning hundreds.

Even against India, he looked in great touch all through the six matches. However, he was not able to convert his starts into big ones. He will rue the stupid act which ruled him out of the important clash.
