Roy scored 495 runs at an average of 45 in the T20 Blast this year, hitting an unbeaten 120 in the victory over Kent.

The right-hander added 745 runs in 11 County Championship appearances and scored 387 runs at an average of 43 in the One-Day Cup, which Surrey ended as beaten finalists.

Ahead of the first one-day international against Bangladesh on Friday (09:30 BST), Roy had played 30 one-day internationals and 16 Twenty20 matches for the national side.
