Jason Roy a ‘day by day’ decision ahead of knockouts

JASON ROY remains hopeful of being fit to face Australia next week but admits his hamstring injury is being managed “day by day.”

The explosive opening batsman tore the muscle in his left leg while fielding against the West Indies and was ruled out for at least two games, against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

He was advised not to bat after attempting to take part in a short net drill at Headingley on Thursday and there is no clear timetable for his return to action.
