Photograph: Visionhaus/Getty Images Moeen Ali has not played red-ball cricket of any kind since the conclusion of the Test series against India in September 2021. Photograph: Visionhaus/Getty Images If ever there was a team that was high on its own supply of uber-positive, cupsole trainer vibes, it is the England men’s Test team right now. And if ever there was a selection that embodied this mainlining of On the face of it, this makes no sense. Moeen turns 36 on Sunday week, has been nearly two years Thank you for your feedback. However, to state these cold, hard facts is to slightly miss the point of what this England team are doing these days: what they keep telling us, which some at the back are clearly not hearing. Stokes and McCullum see only the upside these days and the narrative arc of a return of Moeen, entering the fray like Read more They talk of fun and entertainment not results and after poor If there is one criticism here, it is that a two-day will-he-won’t-he drama that followed Sunday evening’s urgent WhatsApp messages to Moeen could have been avoided. Though the only ever-present in the attack under Stokes and McCullum, and victim of an injury no one saw coming, Leach manages a health issue, Crohn’s disease, that could have flared up this summer.

Moeen Ali has agreed to return to the cauldron of the Ashes this summer after answering England’s call to face Australia in the five-Test men’s series that gets under way in his home city of Birmingham next Friday. Faced with the shock emergence of a lower back stress fracture that ruled Jack Leach out of all five Tests over the next two months, England assessed Thank you for your feedback. The 4-0 Ashes defeat that winter led to full regime change and England have since set off on a surging run of results under the captaincy of Ben Stokes and the guidance of head coach Brendon McCullum. This period has energised old and new along the way and now, with Australia the next challenge for their aggressive methods, the pair are convinced a fluctuating talent such as Moeen can become the latest to catch the bug. Initial contact was made with Moeen on Sunday evening in the aftermath of Read more There was also an underwhelming record against Australia to consider – statistics that started well in 2015 but were torched by the away tour in 2017-18. But the fast-forward cricket being played under Stokes and McCullum – plus doubtless the testimony of England players living their best lives these days – has persuaded the all-rounder these memories can be replaced by something happier this summer. Rob Key, managing director of England men’s cricket, said: “We reached out to Mo early this week about returning to Test cricket. Having had a couple of days to reflect, Mo is excited to join...

Moeen Ali will announce his retirement from Test cricket on Monday morning having informed Joe Root, the England captain, and Chris Silverwood, the head coach and national selector, of this decision last week. Moeen had been pondering his Test future with those closest to him during the recent India series after the 34-year-old all-rounder started to question his ability to focus in the longest format. His mind was made up before details of quarantine and living conditions for the Ashes tour to Australia were sent on Friday to the England and Wales Read more While England are optimistic the stated arrangements will not trigger a raft of withdrawals, Moeen simply feels he has run his race after 64 Test caps and is now looking to specialise in white-ball cricket for England, in county cricket for Worcestershire and domestic Twenty20 tournaments. He is playing for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League on a £700,000 contract. Silverwood and Root were understanding as they ponder their Ashes plans – Moeen remains part of the setup looking to win the T20 World Cup before that tour – and shared their gratitude for a Test career that began in 2014 and returned five centuries, 195 wickets, 28 Test victories and nine series wins. A mainstay of the Test team until the 2019 Ashes, Moeen returned against India this summer when, in the absence of Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes, the team needed a proven all‑rounder to balance the side. Though the comeback was one of only fleeting...

M oeen Ali walks off the Test stage having achieved more than he ever dreamed of when growing up and hopes his eight-year career in the longest format has paved the way for cricketers from a similar background to follow in his footsteps. Speaking to the Guardian and ESPNCricinfo, Moeen confirmed that, after 64 appearances laced with dizzying highs and maddening lows, five elegant centuries and 195 wickets, With this came a typically honest admission that, aged 34 and having recently returned to Joe Root’s England side against India this summer, he was struggling to summon the required focus for Test cricket. He leaves with a sense of “unfinished business” as regards this winter’s Ashes – a tour that proved chastening in 2017-18 – but a firm belief that now is the right time. “It’s been a good journey,” said Moeen. “But during the India series I felt like I was done, to be honest. I felt good, the atmosphere felt good, the dressing room etcetera, but cricketing-wise I found it a struggle to get in the zone bowling and batting and in the field. And the more I tried, I just couldn’t do it. “I was thinking about the Ashes and how I would love to have gone back and done well there. But it’s such a long trip if I’m not ‘in it’ and I think it’d be very, very difficult. And if I felt like I did against India when I was out there, then I would probably retire after one match. So it’s done.” Last week Moeen informed Root, Chris Silverwood, England’s head coach, and Ashley Giles, dir...

M oeen Ali intends to “go with the flow” in the upcoming Ashes series and given the week just gone, the enormity of the challenge to come, and the team he has rejoined, it seems a fittingly decent outlook. A week last Sunday, eyeing up a summer in the Blast, the Hundred and a family holiday in the Cotswolds, Moeen received a text from Ben Stokes that simply read: “Ashes?” Unaware that Jack Leach was out of the series with a lower-back stress fracture, this was met with a typical Moeen reply of “LOL”. Read more Moeen thought Stokes was “taking the mick” but over the next two days, after talks with the Test captain and Rob Key at the PCA golf day, caution from his wife, Firuza, and even the prime minister calling for his return, he said “yes”. Two years out of first-class cricket? Not a problem. Moeen has been lured by England’s new approach and an Ashes series that is shaping up to be a cracker. His first day back at training was pretty eventful. Rocking up in all black civvies and exchanging pleasantries with the stewards, Moeen was soon into those unfamiliar whites for some official headshots. Five minutes later he and everybody – players, coaches, staff and media – were turfed out on the busy Edgbaston Road due to a fire alarm, the shoppers outside Aldi blinking double-takes in bright sunshine. And on Wednesday he will head to Windsor with Firuza, his father, Munir, and his mother, Maqsood, to be presented with an OBE. Two days out from an Ashes series, this swerve from ...
