LONDON: England all-rounder Moeen Ali has announced his retirement from international cricket, marking the end of a successful career that spanned over nine years.

The 37-year-old, who played a crucial role in England’s 2019 World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup victories, believes it’s time to make way for the next generation of players.

Moeen, who debuted in 2014, played 68 Tests, 138 ODIs, and 92 T20s for England, accumulating impressive statistics, including five Test centuries, three ODI centuries, and 366 international wickets.

In addition, he also served as vice-captain and led the team in several matches.

In an interview with Nasser Hussain, Moeen expressed confidence in his abilities but acknowledged the need for the team to evolve. His final international appearance was against India in the T20 World Cup semi-finals in June.

Moeen’s retirement marks a significant milestone in English cricket, leaving behind a legacy of contributions to the team. His decision allows for a new cycle of players to emerge, and his impact on the sport will be remembered for years to come.
