Part-time slow bowler Liam Livingstone, who is capable of bowling both leg and off-spin, would be a vital cog in the sluggish UAE conditions as the T20 World Cup 2021 progresses, England opener Jason Roy said.
“Especially as the tournament goes on where the pitches might get a little bit harder against spin, who knows, he might have more of a role to play.”
“Yeah, he’s been working extremely hard. It’s been great having Moeen and Rash (Rashid) on the side as well, and he learns a lot from them and Jeetan Patel, our spin coach, as well, has been giving him some words of wisdom. It’s paying off for him.”
One day, leg spinner Adil Russie came back without a wicket. After Livingston returned on 2/15, Tymal Mills returned on 3/27 to keep Bangladesh on 124/9.
The pressure of the middle over was so great that Bangladesh played a 52-dot ball in the innings.
Roy made a great start to the team with a great 38 ball 61 and made the 50th Twenty20 International Cap Special.
“We bowled extremely well. Take nothing away from the bowlers. I don’t think we took too much of a foot wrong,” said Roy.
“We took our catches, fielded, and bowled really well. It was a pitch that was on the slow side, and if you bowled straight and on a good length, it was quite hard to get away.”
“We got off to a great start with the bat and then just capitalized on a lower total. We kept it very simple and stuck to what we do best. Don’t look too much into what a lot of other teams do. We make sure that everything in our camp is right and we’re doing our roles right. And today was another day that we bowled extremely well and we were clinical with the bat,” he said.
The Batters’ ultra-aggressive approach rewarded the active ODI World Cup champion, who attributed it to the team’s loyalty.

He seemed to have full control over the spin and started with restrictions on the Bangladesh left-arm spinner Shakibu Alhasan who hit the first ball. Roy attributed this to the hard work Liam Dawson faced on the network. The
“Our camp has been together since 2015 and we’ve created bonds outside of cricket and on the field, which I think plays a huge part in traveling the world and playing good cricket,” Roy said.
“We understand our roles in the team as individuals and as teammates,” he said of the success mantra for the top-ranked T20I side.
“I worked a hell of a lot against Liam Dawson in the nets. He’s been bowling so much to me which has really helped my game.”
Bangladesh is unlikely to be in the semi-finals after losing twice as many games.
