IPL 2018: 4 England batsmen to watch out for this IPL

Modified Apr 05, 2018 16:24 IST

England v Ireland - Royal London ODI — While Root went unsold at 1.5 crores, Billings was bought at the base price of 1 crore by Daredevils

#4 Alex Hales

England v Bangladesh - ICC Champions Trophy

Team - Sunrisers Hyderabad

The aftermath of the sandpaper gate incident rendered Alex Hales his IPL deal with the Sunrisers, long after the auctions. The 29-year-old was bought at his base price of Rs. 1 crore after Warner was ruled out of the league. The batsman was a part of Mumbai Indians in 2015 but has never played an IPL match yet. If given a chance, Hales will play his debut IPL match for SRH.

The Nottinghamshire batsman has, however, played for three teams in the BBL - Adelaide Strikers, Hobart Hurricanes, and Melbourne Renegades, and for the Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League. The batsman saw a slight dip since the ICC Champions Trophy but remains to be a vital batsman for England.
