'Had To Put My Mindset And Body First': Jason Roy Reveals Reason Behind Skipping IPL 2024
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders: England opener Jason Roy has said he had to pull out of the ongoing IPL 2024 season, where he was supposed to play with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), in order to put his "mindset and body first".
Roy's withdrawal from IPL 2024 meant KKR had to sign in fellow England opener Phil Salt. Roy came to KKR in IPL 2023 after Shreyas Iyer was ruled out due to a lower back injury and Shakib Al Hasan wasn’t available for the season and went on to score 285 runs in eight matches at an average of 35.63 and strike-rate of 151.60, including two half-centuries.
"Missing this year's IPL was a huge decision, I think. KKR put so much trust in me by retaining me after a decent year last year and being available for them throughout the year and all the other competitions, I felt like I owe them a huge amount.
