England opener Jason Roy has withdrawn from this season's Indian Premier League.
The 31-year-old was due to play for new franchise Gujarat Titans in the 10-team competition, which is scheduled to run from March 26 to May 29.
Roy, who had a second child in early January and played in the Pakistan Super League last month, said the past three years had 'taken its toll' on him and he wanted to spend time with his family.
'It's with a heavy heart I have decided to pull out of this year's tournament,' Roy wrote on his social media accounts.
