England Batsman Alex Hales would have been part of England’s World Cup squad if a news report had not exposed he was serving a suspension for recreational drug use, England’s director of cricket Ashley Giles has revealed. Hales was removed from the preliminary squad to avoid unnecessary distractions ahead of the World Cup after reports claimed he was serving a three-week ban for recreational drug use.
