Moeen Ali announces retirement from international cricket

E England all-rounder Moeen Ali has announced his retirement from international cricket.

The 37-year old player, who has played for over a decade, decided that the time is right to step away from the international stage and focus on other pursuits.

His decision marks the end of an era for English cricket, where he has been a pivotal player across all three formats.

He made his debut for England in 2014, quickly establishing himself as a versatile all-rounder.

The Satellite gathered that his contributions were instrumental in England’s cricketing success, notably as part of the squads that won the 50-over World Cup in 2019 and the T20 World Cup in 2022.

Recall that in 2021, Moeen retired from Test cricket, which was not permanent as he made a return to the Test team in 2023 for the Ashes series against Australia.

His comeback highlighted his enduring skill and commitment to the game, even as he approached the latter stages of his career.
