England's white-ball captain Jos Buttler and Alex Hales are most likely to create a new look opening partnership at the top of the order for England in the T20 World Cup starting next month in Australia. 

Hales, 33, was called up as a replacement for Jonny Bairstow, who was ruled out of the tournament in Australia after suffering a lower limb injury while playing golf. He has been gradually reintroduced into the team as Buttler's long-standing partner- Jason Roy has been left out of the squad, which indicates that Buttler and Hales have to open the batting together in the mega event.
