Anukul Roy (Cricketer) Biography

Career

In the lead-up to major youth tournaments, Roy faced a stress-related ankle injury that threatened his participation in the 2018 Under-19 World Cup. Despite that setback, the team’s coaching staff maintained confidence in his recovery and he returned to take part in the World Cup squad.
