Read our privacy policy Jason Roy has been rewarded for his performances in England’s victorious World Cup campaign with his first call-up to the Test side. Roy is one of three uncapped players in the England squad for next week’s one-off Test against Ireland, which Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes have been given a rest for next Wednesday’s four-day game, while Jofra Archer – widely expected to feature in the forthcoming Ashes series at the start of August – is not yet being considered for selection as he recovers from a left side strain. But it is the selection of Roy, whose 443 runs at an average of 63 were an integral plank of England’s first men’s World Cup victory, that is the strongest statement of intent. There is a certain pleasing symmetry to his inclusion, given that it was in similar circumstances four years ago – a fixture against Ireland in England’s first game after a World Cup campaign – that he was given his debut in the 50-over side.
