After the exciting match came to a close, Hales gave an interview with Sky Sports Cricket. In the midst of the interview, something awkward happened when former England captain Eoin Morgan was standing next to him but Hales completely ignored Morgan the entire time.

Hales was dropped from the England squad and missed the 2019 World Cup after failing a drug test not just once, but twice. This led to him being handed a 21-day suspension. Morgan, who was captain of the white-ball team at the time, didn't hesitate to give Hales the cold shoulder afterward.
But things took a turn this year when Morgan stepped down as captain, and Hales was recalled to the side for England's T20I series in Pakistan, which consists of seven matches.
