A legendary England player has decided to retire from international cricket. This cricketer has won two World Cups for England. This is a big blow for England cricket.
The England team is currently playing a Test series against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, a veteran England player has suddenly announced his retirement. This player is none other than Moeen Ali. England all-rounder Moeen Ali has announced his retirement from international cricket. This is a big setback for the England cricket team. Moeen Ali's contribution to the England cricket team has been very important. He also won two world trophies for England. Where he won the ODI World Cup 2019 and the T20 World Cup title.
37-year-old Moeen told in a recent interview that he was not included in the team for the upcoming series against Australia and after that he decided to retire from the game. He said that I have played a lot of cricket for England and now it is time to make way for the new generation. Moeen Ali made his international debut in 2014 and played 68 Tests, 138 ODIs and 92 T20 matches as an all-rounder. He scored a total of 6678 runs for England, including 8 centuries and 28 half-centuries, as well as took 366 wickets. His last international match was the T20 World Cup semi-final against India, in which England lost.
Expressing pride in his career, Moeen said that when you play for England for the first time, you do not know how many matches you will play. Playing nearly 300 matches is a big achievement for me. I have always considered Test cricket the most important, but playing ODI and T20 cricket was also fun. Talking about his retirement decision, Moeen said that he knows he can still play, but the team needs new faces to move forward. It was the right time for him. He said that he believes he has played his role for the team and he is happy that he entertained his team and fans.
