 "T20 World Cup: England recall Alex Hales as replacement for Jonny Bairstow")
London: Nottinghamshire batsman Alex Hales has been recalled to the England squad for the T20 World Cup as a replacement for the injured Jonny Bairstow.
The 33-year-old will also be available for the upcoming tour of Pakistan, with Bairstow having sustained a serious leg injury in a “freak accident” on the golf course last week.
Hales has not played for England since March 2019. He failed a recreational drugs test and former England white-ball captain Eoin Morgan said that had led to a “complete breakdown in trust”.
However, the batter’s form, along with Morgan’s retirement , has enabled him to force his way back into the selectors’ thoughts.
The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed his recall in a short team update issued on Wednesday.
The T20 World Cup, taking place in Australia, starts on 16 October.
