Roy started playing cricket at the age of 15,[4] and cites MS Dhoni as her idol.[5] She played for the Bengal under-19 team for four years, before signing with Jharkhand in 2014.[6] In 2018, Roy played for the India Blue cricket team, and a year later, also for India C.[4] In the 2019–20 Women's Senior One Day Trophy, Roy scored her first century, an unbeaten 132 runs,[7] in a one-day match.[8] Her match-winning century helped Jharkhand to reach the knock-out phase of the tournament, before the competition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] In the 2020–21 season, Roy scored two unbeaten centuries in the Senior Women's One Day League.[4] Roy finished the season as the leading run-scorer in the tournament,[9] with 456 runs in eight matches.[8]
In May 2021, Roy earned her maiden call-up to the India women's cricket team,[10] for their tour of England.[11] She was named in India's squad for the one-off Test match,[12] and the squads for the Women's One Day International (WODI) and Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches.[13][14] However, Roy did not play during the series,[15] and expressed her disappointment on not being selected for India's tour of Australia in September and October 2021.[16]
