Cricketer Alex Hales has been withdrawn from all England squads for the international season, including the provisional World Cup squad, after a drug ban.
Hales was included in England's 15-man preliminary World Cup squad but it emerged on Friday he had been sanctioned under the England and Wales Cricket Board's disciplinary policy for a second time.An ECB statement said:"Alex Hales has been withdrawn from all England squads ahead of the international season."
Hales' latest misdemeanour comes just a few months after he was suspended and fined by the ECB for his part in the notorious street brawl in Bristol also involving Ben Stokes in September 2017.Ashley Giles, ECB managing director of England Men's cricket, said the decision was"in the best interests" of the side to ensure"there are no unnecessary distractions" heading into a"crucial period".
The Nottinghamshire batsman will not travel to Ireland for a one-day international on Friday and has also been removed from England's squad for the Vitality IT20, the Royal London ODI series against Pakistan and the preliminary ICC Men's Cricket World Cup squad.
...the lies continue, Greg Levin Woolsey ☆And Vladamir Putin
A personal point of view. He should be barred and bannd for ever. They have no part to play in any sport. Disreputable another betrayal of sport and trust. Should not be a representative of England
He was caught once, warned, and presumably promised to be a good boy. To get nabbed again doing the exact same thing suggests a deep-rooted issue with guilt and forgiveness. Put down that joint and see a psychotherapist, Alex.
Another talented sportsman trying upmost to ruin his career can’t understand em for life of me 😬😬😬😬
