Roy is South African. Him moving to England in search of a better cricketing future should be a tick mark against his patriotism.

Anyhow, Roy does blow hot and cold. Hence, England would anyway have looked beyond him.

He moved to England aged 10, I'm not sure at what age you can question someone's patriotism.

14 wides by Matheesha Pathirana in 7 overs today. Clearly not ready for the longer formats.

Edit: And he gets his maiden wicket just as I post this

Does someone have any backstory as to why an Indian Domestic team is suddenly in Namibia, playing a series against it's national team??
They've had some Pakistan teams over before, potentially the only way of getting some good match practice.

Adding to this Karnataka also played a 5-match series against USA in March this year

I guess there's lots of players not in the IPL so trying to get them some cricket can be helpful.

It may be financially more cost effective for Namibia. A touring franchise or state side might be cheaper, and provide a sterner test than other associates, that the could get over to Windhoek.
