Alex Hales is hoping to make his first England appearance on home soil in almost five years this summer, having enjoyed a successful return to international cricket last year.
Hales was axed by England on the eve of the 2019 50-over World Cup after it emerged he had failed a second drugs test and the opener remained sidelined for three-and-a-half years.
However, after Jason Roy lost form and Jonny Bairstow suffered a freak golf injury he was recalled for last year's T20 World Cup and helped England lift the trophy for the second time in their history.
