England is one of the top contenders for the T20 title, but their chances of winning the T20 World Cup have recently suffered two setbacks. First, wicketkeeper-batsman Johnny Bairstow, who has been in scintillating form, suffered a freak injury while playing golf and was forced to withdraw from the main event. Second, Jason Roy, who can win it all for England on his day, has slumped in form and has been dropped from the squad.
Alex Hales has been called up to the England Twenty20 World Cup squad for the first time since 2019. He replaces Jonny Bairstow. The 33-year-old hasn't played for England since being left out of the 50-over World Cup squad in March 2019 due to a off-field incident.
