However, Jason Roy may not be serving any suspension immediately as the ECB has handed a 12-month period of good behaviour.
“A Disciplinary Panel of the Cricket Discipline Commission has announced its sanction on Jason Roy after he admitted a charge of conducting himself in a manner which may be prejudicial to the interests of cricket or which may bring the game of cricket, the ECB and himself into disrepute, in breach of ECB Directive 3.3,” the ECB said in a statement.

However, it is not yet clear for which incident he has been handed the suspension. Jason Roy has remained in controversy throughout his career. From refusing to leave the field and arguing with the umpire to accusing the opponent player of ball-tampering in the PSL 2022, the English batsman has not shied away from controversy.
Following a full disciplinary hearing at which all available evidence was heard, the Disciplinary Panel ruled that Mr Roy should:
(i) be suspended from the next two England matches for which he is eligible for selection, but that such suspension be suspended for 12 months dependent on good behaviour
(ii) pay a fine of £2,500 by 31 March 2022.
