Ashes 2019, 3rd Test: Jason Roy Passes Concussion Test After Being Hit At Nets

The third Ashes Test between Australia and England will begin from August 22 at Headingley, Leeds

England batsman Jason Roy passed the concussion test on Wednesday. He was hit on the head while batting in the nets. Roy witnessed a blow to the head when facing throwdowns from Marcus Trescothick on Tuesday but passed the test at that time and continued his batting. He was again tested today and cleared. However, before the commencement of the third Ashes Test, the 29-year-old will be tested once again before he is deemed eligible for selection, ESPN Cricinfo reported.

Jason Roy has passed concussion testing, but will be re-examined on Thursday before being cleared to play in the third Ashes Test against Australia
