Named captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad after the banned David Warner was ruled out of the Indian Premier League’s 11th edition, Kane Williamson today said it’s “impossible” for anyone, including Alex Hales, to be a replacement for the explosive Australian opener in the T20 franchise’s setup. Williamson was asked about England’s Hales, who was given the task of filling in the big boots of Warner. “I don’t think it’s a matter of replacing David Warner. He is one of the best T20 batters in the world and for this franchise in the last few years,” Williamson said. We know they are a very strong team with some of the best players in the world,” he said, empathising with RCB.
