Alex Hales: England’s Eoin Morgan says ‘more time’ needed before batsman can return


England won last year’s World Cup in Alex Hales’ absence

Captain Eoin Morgan says it needs “more time” before Alex Hales returns to the England side, saying he could have “derailed” last year’s World Cup bid.

Hales has not played for England since being removed from the World Cup squad in May 2019 for an “off-field incident” – reportedly failing a drugs test.
