England’s Jason Roy has been ruled out of the Vitality IT20s against Pakistan after sustaining a left side strain.
The Surrey top-order batsman picked up the injury this week in the team’s preparation at Emirates Old Trafford and had a scan on Wednesday. He will remain with the England set-up and will commence his rehabilitation programme looking ahead to the Australia white-ball series, which starts next month at The Ageas Bowl.
