If an opportunity does come up I think the time at home will serve him well.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Roy was picked in England\u2019s provisional World Cup squad and told he would definitely be travelling to India, where England open the World Cup against New Zealand in Ahmedabad on October 5.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/27\/18\/75902845-12567573-image-a-26_1695834197362.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jason Roy is on stand-by has been left out of England&#8217;s squad for ODI World Cup in India<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/27\/17\/75902453-0-image-a-13_1695833410296.jpg\" height=\"445\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Coach Matthew Mott has confirmed England will have a number of non-travelling reserves<\/p>\n<p>But a number of back spasms that ruled the 33-year-old out of the entire four-match 50-over series against New Zealand coupled with the controversy over the original omission of Harry Brook led to a late re-think by England.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It was the toughest decision I\u2019ve ever had to make,\u2019 said Mott. \u2018There were so many conversations. Where do you start? We have been talking about this team for eight months.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It came down to where we arrived at in that last series. Harry has presented a very good case as has Dawid Malan and unfortunately three into two doesn\u2019t go. A guy with Jason\u2019s record was incredibly unlucky to miss out.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Roy will be at the front of the queue should England need another opener in India as long as he then passes a fitness test on the back problem that flared up at the worst possible time for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He had back spasms \u2013 they can come and go \u2013 and we would expect him to be assessed by the fitness team should an opportunity arise. We are not expecting him to have any long-term problems with that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Mott insisted there is no limit to the amount of reserves England can ask to keep themselves ready and available to go to India should injury rule out one of their 15 players from the seven-week tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Everyone is on stand-by,\u2019 said the Australian. \u2018We don\u2019t need to declare where we\u2019re at and we certainly don\u2019t want to speculate on it. I think you would have a fair idea of who we would call on. Everybody in this group here (who defeated Ireland 1-0 with two wash-outs) and everyone on the periphery should be maintaining their fitness.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You never know what might happen. We took reserves to Australia for the T20 World Cup last year because it\u2019s a 24-hour flight and the logistics around that can prove difficult. The flight to India is not that bad and the reality is that any player called up would not go straight into the team anyway. So they\u2019ll have time to adjust.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The one reserve player England are taking with them is Jofra Archer although Mott insisted no risks would be taken with a special player returning from serious injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Jofra won\u2019t be fit until the latter stages of the tournament so a lot of where he\u2019s coming from is to get some intensive work with our medical staff,&#8217; said Mott. \u2018We have been very big on not rushing him back and he understands that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He\u2019s desperate to play but he\u2019s also realistic that if this thing happens again (his elbow injury) it could have serious ramifications. We\u2019ll take him over there, work with him and if something happens at the back end he\u2019s someone who could come in.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Flintoff\u2019s return to the England camp as a mentor ended with the dampest of squibs in Bristol and Mott revealed that the Ashes hero\u2019s next involvement on his cricketing comeback will probably be at youth level.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He\u2019s definitely going to join us again in the future,\u2019 added Mott of Flintoff. \u2018We\u2019ve loved having him around. He\u2019s revered and he\u2019s got an aura about him. Fred is very special and after what he\u2019s been through the humility he\u2019s displayed and the life experiences he can share have been immense. I don&#8217;t know when he will be with us again but he\u2019s keen to work with the Under 19s and be involved in the pathway.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/article-12567573\/Jason-Roy-ready-answer-World-Cup-call-insists-England-coach-Matthew-Mott-big-hitting-opener-stand-tournament-dropped-squad.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Jason Roy is ready to answer World Cup call, insists England coach Matthew Mott&#8230;
