The Surrey cricketer had a strong tournament debut scoring 50 and 50 against South Africa and Bangladesh respectively before suffering a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the next two matches.

England dropped those games and a World Cup elimination a la 2015 seemed almost inevitable.
After being rushed back into the team despite showing little sign of recovery Roy responded with three typically dominant half-centuries (innings of 66 60 and 85) and three-century partnerships with the equally prolific Jonny Bairstow in matches that were essentially knock-out matches against India New Zealand and Australia.
