England head coach Trevor Bayliss has not ruled out a return to international cricket for Alex Hales, but confirmed that there’s no way he’ll feature in this summer’s ICC Cricket World Cup.
England managing director Ashley Giles announced last week that Hales was to be dropped from the squad for this summer’s home ODI tournament after news emerged of the Nottinghamshire batsman’s 21-day suspension for an “off-the-field incident”.
Hales returned for his county side Nottinghamshire on May 6, making 36 from No.3 as they confirmed their place at the top of the Royal London One-Day Cup North Group with victory over Northamptonshire.
