Roy has been brought in after Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of the League due to a lower back injury. Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is also not playing this season for the Shahrukh Khan-owed team.
It has been a close race between England seamer James Anderson, India veteran Ravichandran Ashwin and Australia captain Pat Cummins in recent weeks and there is now a tie at the top after the ICC updated their weekly rankings list on Wednesday.

2022 was not a great year for Roy. In 23 matches, he scored 541 runs at an average of 25.76. He could score only one century and two fifties last year, with best of 101*
It was South Africa's quicks that did the damage on England's strong batting line-up, with Anrich Nortje (4/62), Sisanda Magala (3/46) and Kagiso Rabada (2/46) claiming nine wickets between them in a polished display of fast bowling.
Hales made his return to the national T20 side for the first time since 2019 last year leading up to ICC T20 World Cup. But he is not included in England's 50-over squad for the upcoming series against South Africa at home, which will start from January 27 onwards and consists of three ODIs.
