Alexander Roy

Alexander Roy, born on the 29th of September, 1999, has carved a name for himself in the world of cricket as a skilled allrounder. His journey began in the serene suburbs of Nottingham, where a young Alex could often be found practising his bowling action against the garden wall, dreaming of wearing the national colours one day.

From grassroots to grandeur, Alex's progression in cricket was a testament to his determination and love for the game. Excelling in local leagues, he soon caught the eye of Nottinghamshire's scouts and was inducted into their youth academy. His right-arm fast bowling, combined with a potent right-handed batting prowess, made him a valuable asset to any team. It was on a chilly spring day in 2019 that Alex made his professional debut for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship against Warwickshire, marking the start of a promising career.

One of Alex's defining moments came during the 2021 County Championship, where his contributions were pivotal to Nottinghamshire’s near-miraculous run. He scored a blistering century in a crunch match against Yorkshire, showcasing his batting skill. In tandem, his lethal pace attacks rattled opposition, leaving an indelible mark on the domestic cricket scene.

Possessing a smooth, rhythmic bowling action, Alex's lethal outswingers had often left batsmen groping. His Yorkers, delivered with pinpoint accuracy, made him a formidable bowler during death overs. Batting style-wise, Alex displayed a commendable technique with a penchant for aggressive stroke-play, particularly his lofted drives which were a spectacle to behold.

Yet, it wasn't just about individual brilliance. Alex’s career was also marked by iconic matches that highlighted his big-match temperament. One of these was the fiercely contested derby against Derbyshire in 2022, where his all-round performance — a half-century coupled with a four-wicket haul — secured a memorable victory for Nottinghamshire.

Off the field, Alex’s commitment to the game and his team spirit were recognised with the Young Cricketer of the Year award in 2021, a nod to his burgeoning talent and the promise he held for the future.

Still early in his cricketing journey, Alexander Roy continues to embody the spirit of a fighter, eyeing the international arena, and further etching his narrative in the annals of cricket lore.
