England swashbuckling batter Alex Hales admitted that playing Abu Dhabi T-10 League has helped to master his game against spin.
“It (Abu Dhabi T10) certainly improved my game with spin over the last few years, and it’s still an area that I’m looking to get better at, so I’ll be sure to try and top up as much as I can over the next couple of weeks,” said Hales.
The right-hander stated that playing in different conditions in different countries all the year round helped to improve the game.
“On the subcontinent pitches you more often not tend to have a bias towards spin and you have to make sure you adapt your methods. And I think that’s one of the key things as a franchise cricketer,"
“As you’re playing tournaments in different countries and conditions all year round, so you have to keep topping up on certain areas of your game all the time, otherwise you soon get found out,” he added.
The Englishman has been in tremendous form in the T20 World Cup 2022 with 212 runs from six matches. His 86 not out off just 47 runs against India in the semifinals was worth mentioning.
“I’ve played a lot of cricket in UAE so I’m pretty familiar with what to expect, so hopefully I can hit the ground running,"
“We have limited time for practice really with the packed schedule, but in the past, I’ve spent time in training camps in India, so I’ve got a rough idea of what my game plan is going to be. I’ve got my methods and hopefully they can work well in this tournament," he added.
