AFP[/caption] Acknowledging the signing, former New Zealand bowler and Thunder coach Shane Bond said, “He’s one of the best T20 batters in the world. To have someone of his quality available for the whole tournament for us is a great pick up.” “I spent a little bit of time with him at the Mumbai Indians and came up against him when I coached New Zealand and he smacked us a number of times,” he added. Hales has amassed 1644 runs in T20Is with a blistering strike rate of 136.65. The right-handed batsman has previously played for the Melbourne Renegades, Adelaide Strikers and Hobart Hurricanes in the BBL. “I really can’t wait to return to the Big Bash,” Thunders quoted Hales as saying. “It’s such a hugely respected tournament around the world. The standard of cricket is amazing and any chance you get to visit Australia and play over there is amazing, so I’m really looking forward to it,” he added. Hales has featured in 70 ODIs, 60 T20Is and 11 Tests for England.
