Tobias Skelton Roland-Jones (born 29 January 1988) is an English cricketer.
A medium-fast, right-arm bowler and a lower order right-handed batsman, Roland-Jones represents Middlesex in county cricket, and has represented EnglandatTest and One Day International (ODI) level.
He was appointed as Middlesex club captain for the 2023 season.[1]
Roland-Jones was born in Ashford now in Surrey but historically in Middlesex.
On 23 September 2016, Roland-Jones took a hat-trick against Yorkshire to secure the County Championship for Middlesex for the first time in 23 years.[2] He was named one of the Wisden 2017's Cricketers of the year.[3]
In September 2017, Roland-Jones suffered a lower-back stress fracture whilst playing for Middlesex and was consequently unavailable for selection for the England winter tours to Australia and New Zealand. On his return to county cricket in April 2018, a recurrence of the injury was predicted to rule him out of the 2018 season.[4]
On 26 July 2019, in the 2019 t20 Blast match against Glamorgan, Roland-Jones took a hat-trick,[5] finishing with career-best figures of 5 for 21.[6]
In July 2016 he was named in England's squad for their Test series against Pakistan.[7] However, he was dropped from the squad after Ben Stokes and James Anderson were recalled to the England squad for the second Test against PakistanatOld Trafford. He made his ODI debut for England against South Africa on 29 May 2017.[8]
He made his Test debut for England against South Africa on 27 July 2017[9] and took five wickets in his first Test match, ripping through the South African top four and completing his maiden five-for by removing Temba Bavuma. He was the first Englishman to take a five-for on debut since Adil Rashid in 2015.[10] Roland-Jones also showed that he is a capable lower order batsmen by adding 25 in the first innings (including four fours and one six) and 23 not out (two sixes) in the second innings.[9]
