England opener Jason Roy will play in this year’s Indian Premier League after joining Sunrisers Hyderabad as a late replacement.

Roy, 30, went unsold at last month’s IPL auction but will replace Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh who has withdrawn because of personal reasons.

Roy could feature alongside his England one-day international opening partner Jonny Bairstow at Sunrisers, who are captained by Australia’s David Warner.

The tournament begins on 9 April.

Roy, who has previously played for Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Lions in the IPL, scored 144 runs across five innings in England’s recent Twenty20 series in India.

He is the 14th England player to be signed for this year’s IPL.
