Good for him to go at 34 year of age

One of the best ever PSL cricketers in their history.

As an Indian fan, my hearty Thanx to him....For ensuring the end of our trundler Boobie in intl cricket.   That epic smashing of 87 from 46 in the T20 SF was awesome.     (I would hv been much happier had that knock potentially ended another trundler- Arshdeep's career as well)

Tremendously underutilized by England, good career nonetheless.

the hales-morgan romance turned sour.

I find hard to remember T20 knocks of any player somehow but nevertheless he has been a fantastic T20 player and a decent ODI player as well( albeit helped by flat tracks).

It was very simple , after the stokes / Hales escapade a code of conduct was written up by a group of people . Hales broke that TWICE , Morgan didn't want him in his team anymore and selectors didn't pick him . Hales didn't play international cricket that was all on him .
