Alex Hales quits PSL 7 over personal reasons

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Islamabad United’s Alex Hales has pulled out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) seventh edition for personal reasons, on Tuesday.

England cricketer Alex Hales has entertained the Pakistani crowd with his huge sixes and powerful batting style in the matches he had played so far.

A day earlier, Quetta Gladiators’ Ben Duckett also withdrew from the competition due to personal reasons.

Pertinent to note that Hales has been in sublime form for United and is also their leading run-scorer in the competition. In seven innings, he has scored 255 at an average of 42.50.

Earlier, United also lost Ireland’s Paul Stirling, who left PSL 7 due to international duties.

Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz will also leave Islamabad United on Feb 19 due to the series in Bangladesh.

Pertinent to note that Kolkata Knight Riders gave a new lease of life to Alex Hales’ IPL career on Sunday by signing him for 1.5 crore (Indian rupees) on Day 2 of the IPL 2022 auction.

The opening batter went unsold in the first round but was picked up at base price in the second.

Alex Hales has featured in just six IPL matches so far – all of them for SunRisers Hyderabad in 2018 – with 148 runs at an average of 24.67, striking at 125.42.
