Former World Cup winner Jason Roy will feature for the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred this summer, live on Sky Sports.
The opener, part of England's 2019 World Cup win, has played for the Oval Invincibles for the past three seasons but was overlooked in the draft earlier this year. Roy scored 154 runs in nine matches last year and 391 runs over this three-year stint, the second-most in the team's history, with the 33-year-old part of the Invincibles side that lifted the trophy in 2023.
'It looks like we've got a really good group forming and the thought of playing for Freddie's team is pretty exciting. You watch a bloke like him smash it when you're a kid and it'll be fun to work with him. 'I'd have been disappointed to have missed out on The Hundred, so I'm glad to have got an opportunity, and I'm looking forward to getting up to Leeds and enjoying the competition.
