Hales has lost the trust of the team: Michael Vaughn
|| Desk Report ||
Former England captain Michael Vaughan thinks that Hales has lost the trust of the team, he also doubts whether Alex Hales will be able to regain his place in the line up.
''Bristol was a line-in-the-sand moment; they all realize they have to be better role models. “Alex Hales was on a 12-month suspended sentence from his actions in Bristol. I don't know how he comes back from this, he has lost the trust of the team." Vaughn quoted.
Hales was called in England's preliminary 15-man World Cup squad but he was dropped last week after a newspaper report exposed the 30-year-old was aiding a 21-day ban for a second positive drugs test.
"He has lost the opportunity of playing for his country in a World Cup on home soil and he'll live with that forever." Vaughn said on the BBC Radio 5 Live.
England have placed great importance in their professionalism and discipline in the past year, Ben Stokes was also chastised for a late night event in Bristol that eventually saw cleared in crown court on a charge of affray and the messy Ashes tour which followed in 2017-18.
He also had a fallout with his captain Eoin Morgan recently. Morgan believes Hales is a big influence on the team,
''Unfortunately Alex's actions have shown complete disregard for those (team) values, This has created a lack of trust between Alex and the team.’’ Morgan told reporters.
