Jason Roy Joins Giants

By

The Nelson Mandela Bay Giants are looking forward to the arrival of Jason Roy who joins the team for the latter half of the Mzansi Super League.

Roy is known for his blustering strokeplay and exciting match winning performances. He is an English International and Surrey opener of dashing disposition. His maiden ODI ton had come before the 2016 World Cup and making two ODI hundreds against Sri Lanka in England, the second of them – a career-best of 162, the second highest ODI score made at the time by an England batsman.

Born in Durban, Roy moved to the UK when he was 10 and soon started to move through the system. He made his debut for Surrey at the tender age of 17.

Roy’s obvious ability in the shorter formats led to him twice winning T20 contracts in the Bangladesh Premier League. He struck 677 runs at 48.35 apiece – the highest tally in the competition. With his breathtaking power down the ground and penchant for switch-hitting, he will be sure to entertain the crowds in the Mzansi league.

Come and watch Roy, Duckett and the rest of the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants in their quest to secure a spot at the top of the log in their last home match on Saturday 8 December at St Georges Park at 7pm.
