Reacting to the ugly disagreement between Roy and Iftikhar, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram slammed the English batter for his “useless anger”.

Akram mentioned that Roy should not overlook that he’s taking part in in Pakistan, including that the England opener has a knack of getting himself into such fights frequently.

“Just gets angry unnecessarily. Jason Roy must know he is in Pakistan. He has to respect our players and our culture. Why was he angry after getting out? It was his own mistake, and his anger was useless. He does this regularly,” Akram mentioned on A Sports.

Meanwhile, Roy just lately pulled himself out of the upcoming season of the T20 event resulting from “personal reasons”.

Roy had joined KKR forward of final season after Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan had confirmed his unavailability for the season.

As his substitute, KKR have roped in one other Englishman in Phil Salt, who was launched by Delhi Capitals forward of the IPL 2024 public sale.

“Kolkata Knight Riders have named Phil Salt as a replacement for Jason Roy after the latter pulled out of the upcoming IPL 2024 owing to personal reasons. Having remained unsold in the auction after representing the Delhi Capitals last year, this will be Salt’s second season in the IPL.”

KKR bagged Salt for his reserve worth of Rs 1.5 crore.

“Bought at his reserve price of INR 1.5 crore, the aggressive wicket-keeper batter from England scored two consecutive T20I centuries against the West Indies in December last year. His 48-ball century in the 4th T20I at Trinidad is also the joint-fastest for England,” it added.
