Alex Hales’ England stint in danger as he misses county selections for personal reasons

Hales has been an able opener for England in most of the ODIs having an overall 2,419 runs and maintaining an average of 37.8. Seeing a new lease of career, he made himself available for only white ball only contract with Nottinghamshire.

However, as the County started its 50-over campaign, the 30-year-old has missed the opening match against Lancashire. In order to address this issue, Nottinghamshire side has stated that the player has missed the selection process and no schedule has been given for his comeback. 

"Alex Hales has made himself unavailable for selection for personal reasons and no timetable has been set for his return to action," Nottinghamshire stated in a press release, reported Cricbuzz.
