Alex Hales is the world’s premier T20 batsman






England look to continue to their winning momentum after clinching the One-Day International (ODI) against West Indies 2-1 a few days ago. The rebuilding process continues with both teams coming back from disastrous tours and gather momentum ahead of the ICC World T20 2014.



While the T20 (T20I) champions West Indies are looking to consolidate their position,  England will look to replicate their own heroics in this version of the game, which they won on West Indian soil in 2010. England also welcome back the No 1 T20 player in the big-hitting Alex Hales while West Indies have their talisman Chris Gayle coming back into team after an injury layoff.





West Indies



Chris Gayle, Dwayne Smith, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin (w), Darren Sammy (c), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Ravi Rampaul, Samuel Badree



England



Alex Hales, Michael Lumb, Luke Wright, Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler (w), Ravi Bopara, Ben Stokes, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad (c) James Tredwell, Jade Dernbach

The man who once was hailed as one of the most promising players to have emerged from the Pakistani cricket stables now sadly is fighting a losing cause in order to acquit himself of the charges leveled against him by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) five years back and the life-ban imposed on him has already stalled a career which once upon a time looked rosy and promising. Vineet Varma takes a look as to how Kaneria’s time as a Pakistani cricketer looks almost finished at this moment in time and what he can do to salvage of what may remain as ruins of a brief and fledgling career.
