ExplainedEngland announced their final 15-man squad for the upcoming Cricket World Cup in India on Sunday, ruthlessly leaving out Jason Roy for Harry Brook. Roy has been a terrific player for England and was integral to their 2019 World Cup win on home soil. The feeling is that after being told that the 15 players named last month would be the World Cup squad, Roy is seething. “As much as we thought he probably needed a break, he just wanted another go.” Other than Root, nobody else in the World Cup squad faces Ireland. Does Brook’s inclusion in the World Cup squad change the balance of England’s expected team?
