Alex Hales comes back to PSL after withdrawal

Islamabad United’s opening batter Alex Hales on Wednesday returned to the Pakistan Super League after sudden withdrawal from the tournament.

Hales will be available for selection for tomorrow’s eliminator match to be played against Peshawar Zalmi.

Hales had tested positive at the end of the Big Bash League therefore, per rules, he does not need to complete his three-day quarantine.

He had last week announced his decision to withdraw from the PSL due to personal reasons.

However, according to sources, Hales had pulled out of PSL due to bubble fatigue.

Hales had played seven games for Islamabad United this season and scored 255 runs at an average of 42.50, smashing two half-centuries.

Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United, who finished at the third and fourth spot on the points table, respectively, will be up against each other in eliminator 1 at the Gaddafi Stadium on February 24.
