BBL 2020: Alex Hales re-signs for Sydney Thunder

England international Alex Hales becomes the first overseas player to sign a new deal with Sydney Thunder for the Big Bash League.

The Nottinghamshire batsman became the third Englishman to join the Australian professional franchise Twenty20 cricket league after Tom Banton of Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers's Tom Curran, with many other Brits are expected to join the trio.

Hales was axed from the national team shortly before the 2019 World Cup for using recreational drugs and has not played since.

The 31-year-old has scored 576 runs from 17 games - the second-highest scorer during the last year's BBL at 38.40 average and a strike-rate of 146.93.

The BBL is due to start on December 3.
