THE STORY
In 2019, England included one-day specialist Jason Roy in their Test squad for the Ashes series against Australia. Despite his success in limited-overs cricket, Roy struggled in the longer format, scoring only 110 runs in eight innings, with a highest score of 31. Consequently, he was dropped for the fifth Test at The Oval. (bbc.co.uk)
