Alex Hales to return home with hand injury
London, Jan 21 (IBNS): England opening batsman Alex Hales will miss the remainder of England’s tour of India after scans revealed that he fractured his right hand during the second one-day international against India on Thursday in Cuttack.
Hales sustained the injury attempting a catch in the outfield and jarred his hand on the ground, England and Wales Cricket Board.
He will return to England on Saturday and will see a hand surgeon next week.
England will announce Hales’s replacement in the IT20 squad for the three-match series against India, starting on 26 January, in due course.
