PSL 2022: Alex Hales likely to make a return for Islamabad United for Eliminator

Alex Hales will make a return back to the Islamabad United outfit and is likely to feature in the PSL 2022 Eliminator that will take place on 24th February 2022 in Lahore. Islamabad United will lock horns with the Peshawar Zalmi side.

It is to be noted that Hales had left the Pakistan Super League (PSL) because of bio bubble fatigue earlier, but will now make his return to the side for the Eliminator clash against the Peshawar Zalmi side.

The amendment in the rules state that teams can bring in new players into their squads and can even make them feature in their playing XI on the day of the player’s arrival.

Alex Hales must make sure that he clears the Covid-19 test upon arriving for the PSL

However, Alex Hales will have to make sure that he clears the Covid-19 test that is taken after he arrives in Lahore. Also, Hales will not be allowed to enter the team dressing room, and will also be in a separate area in the team hotel as well.

Alex Hales has been in good form in the 2022 edition of the PSL. The right-handed batter has amassed 255 runs in 7 innings and has scored his runs at an average of 42.50 and a stupendous strike rate of 156.44. He has also scored 2 half-centuries in the tournament as well.

Also, another change that has been made is that all the asymptomatic players will now be under isolation only for 5 days instead of the original 7 days. This means that if the players can test negative in the rapid antigen test that is conducted, then that is enough for them to come out of isolation.

The Islamabad United side finished the league stages at the 4th place in the points table and emerged triumphant in 4 out of its 10 matches in the 2022 Pakistan Super League (PSL).
