Jason Roy to Terminate England Contract for MLC Move

England white-ball players, including Jason Roy and Reece Topley, are considering terminating their ECB contracts to play in the inaugural season of Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States. While players on full central contracts are unlikely to feature in MLC this year, those on incremental deals could make financial sense by taking up lucrative offers to play in the league. The ECB will not give No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) that would enable contracted players to feature in MLC, but the league's inaugural season features a minor clash with the English summer.
