Alex Hales has outlined his hopes of breaking into the England side for the upcoming T20 World Cup, piling more pressure on a struggling Jason Roy.
Roy has been in poor form so far this summer, having scored just 76 runs from 98 balls in six T20Is, and England white-ball coach Matthew Mott has hinted that his place in the side is under threat. Hales has not played for England since 2019 after failing a second recreational drugs test and getting dropped on the eve of the 50-over World Cup.
At the time, captain Eoin Morgan blasted Hales for showing a "complete disregard" for the team's values and creating "a lack of trust between Alex and the team". However, with a new regime now in charge, Hales is hopeful of earning a recall.
