Alex Hales will be back at the Caribbean Premier League in 2020 having won the title with the Barbados Tridents in 2019. The tournament will take place from 18 August to 10 September and it will be amongst the first cricket competitions to return.

The English opener is very excited to be back at the CPL but is conscious that he wants to improve on the performances he put in during last season. 

“I am really happy. Obviously last year, personally I didn’t perform anywhere near the level I wanted to and I know I am capable of. So, them to put their faith in me again is really, really pleasing. When you win a title like that, I guess you want to keep as many of the guys together. We had such a good environment there, led incredibly well by Jason Holder and Phi Simmons. The combination of those two was so chilled out which is exactly what you need in T20 cricket. I am really looking forward to it, CPL is a great competition and held in high regard around the world in terms of standard. To get another crack, another bite of the cherry, is a great opportunity.”
