England v Australia - 3rd Royal London One-Day Series 2015 — Alex Hales was roped in as a replacement for Warner

Alex Hales was signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad as David Warner's replacement.

Hales is ranked No.7 in the T20Is right now and is great prospect batting at the top. Sunrisers in spite of their batting failures haven't given him a chance yet.

His inclusion might solve the batting problems of the side with the best bowling unit. He has a strike rate of 136.33 for the 1456 runs that he scored in 52 tests.

He can also be an interesting batsman in the role of a finisher, but it is unsure whether he will be given a chance or not.
