Alex Hales has been out of the national team for a long time. However, Rob Key, the new managing director of the England Cricket Board (ECB), wants Hales to be considered for the national team again. The main reason for not being able to wear the national team jersey of Hales since 2019 is a breach of discipline. Hales has been accused of breach of discipline at various times while with the team.
ECB and the country’s limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan are not doing Hales any favours. This time, with the grace of Rob Key, maybe this stylish batsman is going to get back to good days. He said Hales could be considered for the national team. But that will depend on Hales’ performance. If he plays well, he will have to prove himself and return.
Robb said he would do everything to keep the 33-year-old Hales in the national team, and Hales will have to play a significant role in that. In addition to bringing discipline to his personality, his cricketing form will also be seen. Passing these two tests may soon open the door to the national team for Hales, and Hales can at least expect that after the declaration of Rob.
Rob is working in various aspects with the new responsibility of ECB. As part of this, he has opened his mouth about Hales, one of the star cricketers of the team. “I have to talk to those involved in this decision,” Robb said. “However, I will consider Hales for team selection. His punishment is over. However, this does not mean that Hales is returning to the national team! That is a different discussion. ”
The hard-hitting batsman last played in an English jersey in the 2019 West Indies series. After that, he was dropped from the 2019 World Cup at home as he did not get a pass mark on the drug test. At that time, he was given a 21-day ban. Hales also lost confidence in captain Morgan for ruining the dressing environment.
Due to this, Morgan did not think twice about removing him from the team. This time, of course, there is a hint of a change of fortune, but there are doubts about how real it is. Because, in place of Hales, others have been ruling for so long. It will be challenging to beat the current Jason Roy, Jos Butler, David Malan or Johnny Bairstow. If he can do that hard work, he will succeed.
