Alex Hales is an English cricketer who was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex, on the 3rd of January 1989. A right-handed batsman is the most violent batsman. He is a fantastic limited-overs cricket batsman because of his outstanding hitting ability.
He is the first English batsman to score a century in a T20I match.
Background
Hales, then 15, became famous after smashing 55 runs off an over at Lord’s during the London County Cricket Club’s Founder Day in 2005. In 2006, he represented Buckinghamshire in Minor Counties cricket, and in 2007, he represented MCC Young Cricketers in the Second XI Championship.
In 2007, when on trial with Nottinghamshire, the promising Englishman shocked everyone by scoring 218 against Derbyshire for the second team, gaining him a two-year deal with the club.
In 2008, Hales represented New Zealand in U-19 tests (149 runs in two matches) and One-Day Internationals (129 runs in five matches). In the 2011 Friends Life T20, Hales scored 544 runs at a genius strike rate of 146, propelling him to the England national team.
Debut
In his T20I debut against India in Manchester in August 2011, Hales was dismissed after just two balls. In September 2011, he made up for his debut blunder by smashing an undefeated 62 in the second match against the West Indies at the Oval.
Hales was chosen for the ODI squad against the West Indies due to his impressive form at the top of the order, but his debut was postponed due to injury. Hales made his ODI debut in August 2014, scoring 40 against India in Cardiff.
Rise to Glory
Alex Hales’ explosive game is well suited to shorter formats, as he only missed a T20I lot by a single run in his fifth match against the West Indies at Trent Bridge in 2012.
In the 2014 ICC T20 World Cup in Chittagong, Hale smashed 116 runs off 64 balls against Sri Lanka.
Hales received the Man of the Series award in February 2016 after hitting three consecutive half-centuries in ODIs while on tour in South Africa. Six months later, he hit the highest individual ODI score in England history with 171 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge.
