Alex Hales pulls out of IPL 2023
England's power hitting batter and opener, Alex Hales has pulled out of the 2023 edition of Indian Premier League. Hales had a phenomenal run in the T20 World Cup 2022, and would have certainly caused a mayhem in the auction.
The batter was bought by the franchise Kolkata Knight Riders in the last edition of the IPL, he was bought in the later rounds of the auction at base price. Following that, Hales had voluntarily pulled out the tournament.
After his prolific form in the World Cup, KKR certainly would have been hoping for his return on the field. But the batter has confirmed that he will not be participating in the tournament.
