England’s all-rounder Moeen Ali has retired from International Cricket. Moeen Ali played his last international match against India.
Currently, Moeen Ali is playing for the Amazon Warriors team in the Caribbean Premier League in the West Indies. Moeen is said to be intending to take up coaching after playing franchise cricket for some time.
Moeen Ali started his international career in one-day cricket in 2014. In the same year, he made his debut in T20 and Test. Moeen played his last international match against India in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024. Moeen Ali has scored 6678 runs in all three formats for England, which includes 8 centuries and 28 fifties. Moeen has also taken 366 wickets in international cricket.
As quoted by ‘Daily Mail’ he Said.
“I’m 37 years old and didn’t get picked for this month’s Australia series,” Moeen Ali said in an interview with former England captain Nasser Hussain in the Daily Mail. “I’ve played a lot of Cricket for England. It’s time for the next generation, which was also explained to me. It felt the time was right. I’ve done my part.”
“I could hold on and try to play for England again, but I know in reality I won’t,” Moeen said. “Even retiring, I don’t feel it’s because I’m not good enough — I still feel I can play. But I get how things are, and the team needs to evolve into another cycle. It’s about being real to myself.”
