LONDON (Agencies): More England players are looking to follow Alex Hales’ example, who has decided to skip England’s upcoming tour to Bangladesh, in order to honour his £145,000 contract with Islamabad United for the upcoming edition of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL), reported The Telegraph.
England is scheduled to square off against Bangladesh in three T20Is and as many ODIs, which will be played between March 1 to 14. Whereas, HBL PSL 8 will take place from February 13 to March 19.
Sam Billings, Liam Dawson and James Vince, are also expected to turn up for their respective PSL franchises instead of making themselves available for Bangladesh tour.
