Moeen Ali retires from international cricket
Moeen Ali played 68 Tests, 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is for England
Moeen, who last played for England in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, was left out of the white ball series against Australia later this month.
Moeen believed that the time was right for him after understanding that he was no longer in consideration for the side’s future assignments. Moeen made his international debut in 2014 against West Indies. He scored 6678 international runs and picked 366 wickets. He won the 2019 Cricket World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup with the senior men’s side.
The 37-year-old finished with 204 Test scalps, making him the third-best England spinner in the format, sitting behind Derek Underwood (297) and Graeme Swann (255).
Moeen made his white-ball debut for England on their 2014 tour of West Indies and went on to play 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is for the country in his 10-year career. When Sri Lanka visited England later that year, Moeen made his Test debut at the Lord's, and represented England in 68 overall. He finishes with 6678 runs, including eight centuries and 28 fifties, and 366 wickets for England across the three formats.
Over the last year, Moeen was also in action at the IPL for CSK, a part of the SA20 for Joburg Super Kings and in the BPL with Chittagong Vikings.
