England’s terrific batsman Jason Roy has decided not to take part in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) following his bio-bubble fatigue. Roy, whilst informing his franchise Gujarat Titans, said he will not be able to render his services in the upcoming season.
The right-handed batter was bought by Titans, one of the two new IPL franchises, for INR 2 Crore. This is not the first time England’s cricketer has pulled himself out of the extravaganza. In IPL 2020, he was bought by Delhi Capitals for INR 1.5 Crore, but he chose not to play.

A total of 70 matches, alongside the playoffs and a final, will be played at Maharashtra’s stadiums. The extravaganza is set to kick-start on 26th March, a day before it was expected to begin. The 15th grand finale will be played on 29th May. The opener will take place between the title defenders Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders.
