Injured Roy to miss next 2 WC games

By The Assam Tribune

MANCHESTER, June 17: England opener Jason Roy will miss the hosts� next two World Cup matches with a torn left hamstring, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Monday.

Roy, who suffered the injury while fielding during England�s win over the West Indies on Friday, has been ruled out of Tuesday�s group fixture against Afghanistan at Old Trafford and Friday�s match against Sri Lanka at Headingley.

Meanwhile, England captain Eoin Morgan, who suffered a back spasm in the field against the West Indies, and like Roy did not bat in that match, will be assessed ahead of the Afghanistan clash and could yet play against the tournament minnows. � AFP
