Rangpur Riders head coach Tom Moody said on Thursday that opener Alex Hales is ruled out of Bangladesh Premier League due to shoulder injury.

‘’We got the news last night and he required going back to London to have some specialist opinion on his left shoulder,’’ Moody told reporters at Mirpur on Thursday.

‘’He hurt his left shoulder last game during his batting and not in fielding and the English Cricket Board requested that he get some further advice and get and MRI and scan,’’ he said

‘’Unfortunately that’s the end of his tournament with us and obviously he had a significant impact and great value to us,’’ he added.

The unexpected injury of Hales can be considered a huge blow for Riders as he played a significant part during the last four win of Riders by scoring 85 not out, 100, 55 and 33 respectively.
