'Ketchup in the cupboard? That's nuts'

England batsman Jason Roy talks about his favourite meat, the England players’ football and dancing skills, and more

Interview by Jack Wilson08-May-2016The England team have a competition to see who is the best dancer. Who wins?
That’s impossible to answer. There’s not one iota of dance talent in that dressing room.You wear the number 67 for England. Why?
Because I can’t wear 20! That has always been my number but Bressie has got that, so 67 was the number I was assigned.Who do you least want to be stuck next to on the team bus?
Sam Billings. He’s got terrible chat. It’s relentless.Who is the best footballer in the England team warm-ups?
To be fair to him, Jos Buttler can play a bit.And who is the worst?
Alex Hales. Hands down.Which of your team-mates is the most fun on a night out?
Ben Stokes – he goes for it every time. He’s hilarious. Reece Topley is funny too as he thinks he’s a ladies’ man.Who is the last at the bar to buy a round of drinks?
Sam Billings. Easy.Who is the biggest stats geek in the dressing room?
[Laughs] I desperately want to pick someone but we’re not the cleverest bunch. If anyone, it’d have to be Rooty.Reece Topley: ladies’ man?•Getty ImagesWho is the most superstitious?
Stokes again. He always does that stupid thing at the crease when he comes out to bat. At Surrey, Arun Harinath has to go to the toilet just before he bats. Every time, without fail. So, if he’s late to bat, which has happened loads of times, you now know why.If you could go back in time and face any bowler from history in their prime, who would it be?
I want to say Shoaib Akhtar but I’d be lying. A spinner, definitely. [Shane] Warne or Murali [Muttiah Muralitharan].Which of your team-mates is most likely to play a practical joke?
That has got to be Rooty or Hales.And who is it most likely to be on?
David Willey. He’s an easy target.What is your favourite shot?
The straight drive – or any of them that goes for runs.If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you bring?
A lighter, a fishing rod and a satellite phone.Where do you keep tomato ketchup: in the fridge or in the cupboard?
Fridge. Who keeps it in a cupboard? That’s nuts.What meat do you like most on your roast dinner?
Tough one, but nothing beats lamb and mint sauce. Nothing whatsoever.
