IPL 2022: Jason Roy opts out of tournament citing bio bubble fatigue

Swashbuckling batter Jason Roy has decided not to participate in the 2022 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) because of bio bubble fatigue. Roy has informed his franchise Gujarat Titans about his decision as well.

The righty handed batter was bought by the Gujarat Titans for a sum of INR 2 Crores. Roy has pulled out of the IPL in the past as well. In the 13th edition of the IPL, the Delhi Capitals outfit had bought the batter for INR 1.5 Crores, but he had decided not to participate in the tournament.

The 2022 edition of the IPL will be a 10-team affair, as two new IPL franchises, Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans have joined the fray.
