England opener Alex Hales has said ahead of the crucial seven-match T20I series against Pakistan, he never thought he would don his country’s jersey in an international cricket match after he failed a drugs test in 2019 and was left in the wilderness for three years owing to the misdemeanour.

Hales told the Daily Mail, it was his fault not to disclose he had taken recreational drugs to the team management in 2019 ahead of the World Cup at home.
“At the end of the day, it was my fault, wasn’t it? I was the one who did what I did. I have to hold my hands up. You have to look at yourself in the mirror and try to improve as a person and learn from mistakes,” said Hales.
