Moeen Ali Cites 'BazBall' As Reason Behind Test Comeback For Ashes 2023 Moeen Ali played 64 Tests for England (Twitter) Moeen Ali is set to come out of Test retirement for the upcoming Ashes series in England. The English all-rounder will be replacing Jack Leach in the squad, after the latter suffered a stress fracture during a Test match against Ireland. Days prior to the commencement of the Ashes, Moeen himself has expressed his excitement over playing for England again, and explained why he decided to disregard his retirement from the format. Moeen Ali says Bazball too good to refuse England’s Test side, under captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, have underwent a tremendous transformation over the past year. After an extensive winless run in the format during the backend of Joe Root’s leadership saga, the Stokes-led England employed an aggressive approach and romped their way to 11 wins in their subsequent 13 Tests. RCB Superstar To Lead as England Announce Squad For Women's Ashes The approach, nicknamed as 'Bazball' by the English media, has re-ignited result-oriented tactics in Tests, with English batters often maintaining a run-rate of above six-an-over. Moeen, who announced his Test retirement in September 2021, has said that his decision to make a comeback was influenced by his temptation to embrace England’s new attacking approach. While speaking with the reporters ahead of the series, he said: "The exciting cricket the guys have been playing. It's an er...

Opener Ruturaj Gaikwad made 32 and went on to claim the orange cap as the tournament’s leading scorer. Kolkata had got off to a flying start with openers Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer smashing individual fifties.

The 35-year-old all-rounder, who retired from Test cricket at the end of the 2021 summer, has reversed his decision following discussions with Test Captain Stokes and Head Coach Brendon McCullum. Moeen replaced Jack Leach, who was withdrawn from the original 16-player squad on Sunday after sustaining a low back stress fracture, which rules him out of the five-match Ashes Test series. The off-spinner said that he was contacted by the skipper before he heard about Leach’s injury and revealed his bizarre reply to Stokes’ one word message. “Stokesy (Stokes) messaged me with a question mark –‘Ashes?’,” Moeen was quoted as saying by BBC. “I just said ‘LOL’, thinking he was taking the mick.” The 35-year-old said that Stokes was the only England captain who could have persuaded him to come out of Test retirement for the upcoming Ashes series. Asked if there was any other captain who could have persuaded him to change his mind, Moeen replied: “Probably not, no.” Moeen, who is also Stokes’ teammate with Chennai Super Kings at the Indian Premier League, said that the England skipper didn’t mention anything about coming out of retirement during their IPL stint. “I’ve obviously spent a lot of time with Stokesy during the IPL. He didn’t mention anything about coming out of retirement, it was just about the Ashes and how he was looking to take the team. He obviously watched me train out there and thinks I can bowl decently,” the 35-year-old revealed. The off-spinner and lower-order batte...

England on Wednesday announced their playing XI for the opening Test of the 2023 Ashes, with Moeen Ali getting slotted into the team right away and Mark Wood unable to find a place in the bowling department. Moeen, thus, is set to make his first appearance for England in whites since the Oval Test against India in 2021, with the spin-bowling all-rounder having announced his retirement shortly after that game. Moeen, however, would come out of retirement in the build-up to this year’s Ashes, which starts on Friday, following off-spinner Jack Leach’s injury-forced exit and a chat with Test skipper Ben Stokes.

Stokes has previously spoken of his desire to have a bowler with express pace and, with Jofra Archer and Olly Stone on the sidelines, would have been tempted to pick Wood. But Broad, with 582 Test wickets under his belt, and who led the attack impressively against Ireland, has got the nod. His selection guarantees another chapter in the 36-year-old’s storied rivalry with Australia opener David Warner, who floundered badly against Broad in 2019, when the Englishman dismissed him seven times in 10 inni...
