Alex Hales still harbours hopes of earning an England recall, three years after he was axed after failing a second recreational drugs test.
The 33-year-old was axed from the England squad which went on to win the 2019 Cricket World Cup and has not played for them ever since. At the time, England's white ball captain Eoin Morgan said Hales had shown a "complete disregard" for the team's values and "created a lack of trust between Alex and the team".
Despite being overlooked by England ever since, Hales still has ambitions of playing international cricket again. "It's always still there," Hales told the Daily Mail when asked about the prospect of a recall.
