He was a fully committed cricketer from his school days and was successful as well. He made his first-class debut at the age of 17 when he was roped in by Surrey in the T-20 Cup in the year 2008. It was his fielding that was noticed and was used by England as a substitute fielder when South Africa toured England in 2009.
 
After their miserable show in the 2015 World Cup, Jason Roy was drafted into the England's team and the stroke player Roy responded with consistently giving a good start to his team. Though he scored a hundred against Pakistan just before the World Cup but it was after the World Cup when England changed their approach and Roy responded to his captain's with some great knocks. He scored an adventurous hundred against Sri Lanka by scoring 162 which is the highest score by an English Batsmen in ODI cricket.

He along with Johnny Barristow has formed a formiddable opening pair and will be forece to reckon with in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
