It was incredibly tough to take but I feel like I&#8217;ve had a pretty good year since. I&#8217;m a person who now parks my past performances away because I&#8217;ve realised that&#8217;s the game we play. Get a duck, park it. Get a ton, park it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/23\/75096343-12484479-image-m-87_1693951489940.jpg\" height=\"654\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England&#8217;s Jason Roy won the ODI World Cup in 2019 but missed out on the T20 squad which won the tournament in Australia last winter<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/23\/75096345-12484479-image-a-88_1693951502683.jpg\" height=\"395\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>And the opening batter admits he has work to do to be ready for the ODI World Cup in October<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We&#8217;re constantly running away from performances because the next innings is all that&#8217;s really important. Right now, my knock at\u00a0Cardiff (where England face New Zealand in the first of four Metro Bank ODIs on Friday) is all that matters,&#8217; adds the England opener.<\/p>\n<p>Yet England captain Jos Buttler has perhaps opted to go on those past performances, in selecting his World Cup fifteen. Nine of those picked were in the winning 2019 squad and with an average age of 32, England have three players who are in their 20s for their World Cup defence in the subcontinent.<\/p>\n<p>Controversially, Harry Brook is not in the squad, following Ben Stokes&#8217; retirement reversal.\u00a0And England&#8217;s top six in India is set to be identical to the side that won in 2019, with Dawid Malan the only difference in place of the retired Eoin Morgan.<\/p>\n<p>Roy, who was in the Team of the Tournament that year, has scored two ODI centuries this year in South Africa and Bangladesh but admits the next few weeks are a chance for him to truly find his mojo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His return of 154 runs across nine innings for the Invincibles through August was &#8216;alright&#8217; but &#8216;nothing special&#8217; in a format where there is no time to waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A third-ball duck in the final was further confirmation to himself of the work he needs to do before England land in India.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Honestly I loved it (winning The Hundred) but I had mixed emotions the morning after. When you&#8217;re in the field with the lads and then lifting the trophy, you don&#8217;t think about your individual performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You park those feelings your energy is on winning the game and enjoying the moment. It was a great moment but then you wake up the next day and you&#8217;re like &#8220;Sh*t, I&#8217;ve got work to do before the World Cup,&#8221; says Roy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/22\/75095955-12484479-image-a-53_1693950762103.jpg\" height=\"365\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The stocky 33-year-old scored 154 runs across nine innings for the Invincibles through August<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/22\/75096157-12484479-image-a-76_1693950941617.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>But he got a duck in the final, underlining for him the work that needs to go in before October<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;With the one-dayers, I&#8217;m looking forward to the time I get to relax into my innings at the start. It makes such a difference. But yeah, this month is a huge stepping stone before India,&#8217; he adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amid all the experience in England&#8217;s squad, his Surrey teammate Gus Atkinson, 25, will feature in his first World Cup and Roy is confident that Atkinson, who consistently hits speeds in excess of 90mph, will hit the ground running.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He&#8217;s got a good head on his shoulders and is exactly the kind of person you can see succeeding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There&#8217;s no doubt about his talent and raw pace but I&#8217;m hopeful that he&#8217;s got the skillset and the character to succeed at international level,&#8217; says Roy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The biggest difference between domestic\/franchise cricket and international cricket is the hype and exposure. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll be able to manage that. That&#8217;s the hardest part of international cricket. For me, a duck always brings me back down to earth.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>With 50-over cricket now past the stage of marginalisation as franchise leagues dominate the calendar, there is a sense of this World Cup as the last hurrah for most of the England squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For Roy, who made his international debut in 2015 in the first ODI off the back of England&#8217;s dismal World Cup campaign that year, it may even signal a natural endpoint for his international career.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His desire to play T20 cricket for England still remains but a recall in that format is unlikely ahead of next summer&#8217;s World Cup and there is an expectation that there will be a changing of the guard after India.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/22\/75096009-12484479-Jason_Roy_was_speaking_to_Mail_Sport_at_a_Metro_Bank_event_suppo-a-79_1693951045883.jpg\" height=\"401\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jason Roy was speaking to <span>Mail Sport <\/span>at a Metro Bank event supporting girls&#8217; cricket (pictured)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/22\/75096011-12484479-image-a-80_1693951049393.jpg\" height=\"397\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Metro Bank have partnered with the ECB to improve confidence in women and girls via cricket<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s a lovely feeling, knowing that we&#8217;re all spending a good six-week block together.
