England opening Batter Alex Hales has said that his focus purely is on T20 cricket and he does not have too much ambitions in the 50-over format as of now.
You have to see what the future holds: Alex Hales
“I think for the time being my focus lies purely on T20 cricket. It is a format where over the last three years, I have gotten better at a really quick rate. I think for the time being I am just going to focus on T20 Cricket, and probably give that (50 over cricket) some thought. I know there is a World Cup in India next summer, but for the moment my focus is on this tournament and the T20 franchise circuit. You have to see what the future holds, you just never know,” said Hales as quoted by The Print.
He is also excited to be a part of the inaugural edition of the ILT20 where he will be representing the Desert Vipers.
“I know Tom Moody really well. I have played under him in the past, so to get a chance to work with him again was awesome. I am really looking forward to being part of a new franchise,” he said.
“Being a part of a new and exciting competition is really important for me as a T20 cricketer. The game is growing, and to get a chance to play in a country I like, where I have spent a lot of time playing cricket over the years, is really exciting,” the English power-hitter added.
