KKR announced that Jason Roy has been included in the squad for ₹2.8 crore from his base price of ₹1.5 crore.
Roy was signed after Bangladesh’s all-rounder Shakib opted out of the IPL 2023 after skipper Shreyas Iyer was ruled out over an injury.
Jason Roy earlier featured in the 2017 and 2018 seasons, last played in the 2021 season for Sunrisers Hyderabad. In 2021, he played five games, scoring 150 runs including a half-century. The 32-year-old has played 64 T20Is for England, scoring 1522 runs.
