News about Moeen Ali

Ahmed, the England leg-spinner, is playing in the first round against Yorkshire at Headingley, scoring 28 on the first day, but will be unable to attend the Division Two fixtures against Sussex and Derbyshire, as well as Northamptonshire's visit to Grace Road. The 19-year-old is a practicing Muslim, and he has been given the permission of his county chiefs and the England leadership to travel to Saudi Arabia for the Umrah.

STUART BROAD: Pope is not one of the extroverts in the dressing room. He's just a nice guy, who is perhaps the best walking his dog in the countryside, but he is also tough, as you can see him running back out to field in last summer's Ashes despite losing his shoulder. His coworkers also have a lot of respect for his abilities as a batter. I was one that bowled him in the nets because he was batting three or me getting the new ball meant we'd often be paired up against each other.

MATT HUGHES AND AADAM PATEL: ECB officials had hoped that 20-year-old would get his visa after enrolling in England's training camp in the UAE, but was told on Tuesday that he'd have to return to the United Kingdom to get his passport stamped in person. Baahir and the remainder of the England squad had travelled to the UAE ahead of the five Test series against India without obtaining a visa to enter the country, a process that became more difficult due to his Pakistani roots.

Jos Buttler skirting the Kensington Oval boundary at an optional net session earlier this week, in deep conversation with his vice-captain Moeen Ali, was more relevant than previous pre-series chats between the two teams. Buttler's right-hand man, and he has taken the armband in a complete sequence during his captaincy, including last year's 4-3 victory in Pakistan, so talking tactics is nothing new. However, this particular talk marked a change of the guard, as Moeen learned his close friend Adil Rashid would have a new on-field sidekick in Twenty20 matches as England prepares for next year's world championship defense in a five-match series.

As they battle here with Caribbean weather and the West Indies' brawny batting lineup, England plans to have their new spin twins at the center of their world championship defense next year. Veteran Adil Rashid - bringing up centuries in both Twenty20 caps and wickets - and fellow wrist spinner Rehan Ahmed were among the few gloomy figures in another gloomy display as England lost their ninth limited-overs international in 13 this winter. Ahmed, 19, as a wicket-taking power on this tour, has removed vice-captain Moeen Ali from the team's four appearances, not only in attempts to recover against a squad that defeated the six count 14-6 in game one, but also in the World Cup back in June.

Despite being the team's top run-scorer at the World Cup, Dawid Malan's international career seems to be over. He was left out of both white-ball squads for England's trip to the Caribbean. Malan, 36, who ran in 404 runs straight over Ben Stokes at the top of England's charts, was recently given a one-year central contract by the ECB. And although his departure from the ODI leg of the West Indies tour was no surprise, it's also difficult to see how he will defend his T20 position ahead of the 20-over World Cup in the United States and the Caribbean next year.

PATEL PATEL IN KOLKATA: England has wasted no time in selecting their white-ball squads for their tour of the Caribbean next month, with no space for Dawid Malan in either the ODI or T20 squad. Malan was England's highest run scorer at the World Cup, scoring 404 runs, but he revealed earlier this week that despite being snapped up to one year in a row last month, his game against Pakistan might be his last for the team. Despite managing director Rob Key's assertion that Malan will still be considered for T20 selection, it could mean the end of his international career.

LAWRENCE BOOTH IN PUNE: Following England's humiliating loss by Australia in Ahmedabad on Saturday, the 36-year-old Moeen said the time had come for a new 50-over team to move forward with a new senior team and volunteered himself as one of the senior players to step down. Everything good comes to an end, and it's likely the writing was on the wall and we didn't know it as players because we suspected we were doing well,' he said.

Following the death of his grandfather Ross on Friday, Australian all-rounder Mitch Marsh will return to India for the Cricket World Cup in India. Before his surprise departure ahead of Australia's 33-run victory over England on Saturday, the 32-year-old had played every game of the season. During the game in honor of Ross, Australian players wore black arm bands.

Jos Buttler used the words disgust, frustrating, and despair no fewer than nine times in his seven-minute post-match press conference in Ahmedabad, after England was officially knocked out of the World Cup. Frustration with virtually every part of England's utterly abysmal World Cup defense and, in particular, his own batting. When things aren't going for you, even the simple things seem tough and the England captain's dismissal against Australia, on an evening when England's World Cup reign came to an end, summed up the story of his miserable tournament,

LAWRENCE BOOTH IN LUCKNOW: Ben Stokes arrived in India in the hopes of improving England's title defense, but they didn't succeed in the shot that defined their fall from grace. Stokes was suspended for nine wickets after England defeated Zimbabwe and maintain a mathematical interest in the World Cup, but then missed an ugly hack at Mohammed Shami with England 30 for two. England's talisman trudged off as a partisan crowd approaching 50,000 stood on a berserk. He had just played perhaps the worst stroke of the tournament, a failed act of surrender that spoke on behalf of a demoralized team.

LAYING OUT bANGALORE: As Ben Stokes returned to the dressing room, muttering sarcastic thoughts, shaking his head, it seemed not so much like the end of England's World Cup as it did not seem to be the end of an entire period. Stokes had just pulled Lahiru Kumara to deep midwicket after completing a miserable 43 from 73 runs in an England innings that was eventually dismissed for 156, a loss of two wickets that Sri Lanka has ignored for. The entire match lasted 59 overs. This was a result that was both England's worst nightmare and utterly in keeping with their title defense's shambolic nature. It raises serious concerns about head coach Matthew Mott and captain Jos Buttler's ability to get the most out of a talented but aging group of cricketers. As England was today, no one has been stocked exclusively by 30-somethings. A few fifty-plus careers have just come to an end. Even the T20 triumph in Australia last year seems to have come a long way.

Following yet another poor showing with the bat that saw them lose by eight wickets to Sri Lanka at the Cricket World Cup, England's cricketers have been chastised on social media by supporters. Jos Buttler's men arrived in their fifth game in the tournament, knowing they needed a victory after losing three of their previous four games, but they fell short and now look likely to leave the group stage. England flopped in Bangalore after a dramatic batting performance against Afghanistan and South Africa, defeating them out for 156 runs.

ENGLAND'S BOOTH BANGALORE: Moeen Ali has advised England not to be so sarcastic as they begin to recover from their disappointing World Cup match against Sri Lanka, but admits it will be 'anxious' ahead of Thursday's match. Since being dropped just one game into the tournament, England's vice captain has been left frustrated, with humiliating losses against Afghanistan and South Africa following each other. England's latest setbacks by Sri Lanka, who also lost three out of four races, will almost certainly put an end to the team's hopes of retaining the trophy they won four years ago. It will also be one of the first title defenses in nearly 50 years of one-day World Cups.

LAS BUFF: England's World Cup defense is in pieces after only four games. But where has it gone wrong? Mail Sport investigates the anatomy of a shambles... Jos Buttler was one of the few people to bowl first in Delhi, where he placed all his chips on the dew that never arrived. It was another attempt to repeat the mistake made against South Africa in Mumbai, where the heat and humidity caused England to fielded in the worst of the weather.

When Ben Stokes heard his hip 'pop' in the gym, he feared it was over before it had begun, but he's going to remind everyone why England are double world champions as he returns from South Africa on Saturday. Stokes was dubbed his team's "spiritual king" by head coach Matthew Mott after the dressing-room inquiry into the humiliating loss in Delhi by Afghanistan. And though he largely agreed with Mark Wood's insistence that he is 'not the Messiah,' he intends to put into action the word he gave colleagues as England search for the victory they need.

BOOTH IN MUMBAI: England's one-day team faces a lot of shame after two losses in their first three World Cup games, including Sunday's humiliating loss to Afghanistan. They need answers right away. Forget loyalty, be ruthless. Even after Afghanistan's 69-run loss, Jos Buttler was supporting Chris Woakes, who had only used for four (expensive) overs. Buttler was correct in remarking how important Woakes has been to England's white-ball squad. However, loyalty must not be based on blind faith.

AHMEDABAD (LA): Despite a new injury cloud descending on Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler goes into Wednesday's World Cup opener against New Zealand aspires of 'creating something new' as England looks to win their third global trophy in four years. During an evening training session at Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday, England's star all-rounder cut a peripheral figure, despite having a niggle in his left hip that could prevent him from participating in the competition curtain-raiser and raises concerns about his readiness for the remainder of his title defense. With each team facing nine group matches each before the semi-finals begin on November 15, Buttler said that now was "not the time to take big risks on someone at the start of the tournament." Harry Brook, a late replacement for the injured Jason Roy, is expected to make his World Cup debut this weekend.

Exclusive BY ISAAN KHAN: Leading England cricketers have held talks with Saudi chiefs about becoming ambassadors for the kingdom's new Twenty20 tournament in the Middle East. Mail Sport has confirmed that Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali and Saudi representatives began discussing the possibility of playing in the tournament, which is expected to be published next year, as well as an ambassadorial role. It will be the world's richest T20 tournament. In addition to Woakes and Ali, more England stars are likely to be approached, raising further concerns for the ECB over player availability.

Dawid Malan climbed to pole position to open the England World Cup next month, leading the team with a stunning century against New Zealand in the final ODI. Malan continued to make the most of his unexpected gift at the top of the order with 127 off 114 balls at Lord's, with Jason Roy out again due to back spasms.

On Monday, Liam Livingstone led England to a 79-run victory over New Zealand, scoring an impressive 95 runs to help Jos Butter's team tie the ODI series 1-1. On Wednesday, England will face the Black Caps as they begin preparations for the 2023 World Cup in October, and New Zealand will be looking for a response after being bowled out for 147 runs during the rain-affected match. Despite Livingstone's match-winning run, Sky Bet did not expect the all-rounder to end his match with the most runs on Wednesday, giving him the chance of 11/2 behind seven of his teammates.

INTEGRENCE BOOTH: Brook's acceptance in the 15-man group, which does not have to be decided until September 28, has been inevitable ever since he played match-winning hands in the two T20 victories over the New Zealanders at Chester-le-Street and Old Trafford. However, England has included Brook in a 17-man squad for the ODIs, despite minor injuries for Jonny Bairstow, who suffered soreness in his right shoulder after losing 73 in 41 balls last night at Trent Bridge. Brook is expected to show why he should be on the plane to India for the World Cup, which starts on October 5 with Moeen Ali's wife set to give birth in the next week or so.

AADAM PATEL: Rehan Ahmed took two for 27 in four overs on his first home appearance for England after failing his driving test on Monday and was comfortably the pick of the England bowlers. Farhan, 15, was called up to England's U19 team on Tuesday for two Youth Tests against Australia's U19s later this month, making it a long week for the Ahmed family. Farhan bowls off-spin, while Rehan bowls leg-spin, so the likelihood of both playing in the same England team one day is a realistic one, to say the least.

At TRENT BRIDGE: After England threw away a blistering innings by Jonny Bairstow, a resurgent New Zealand squared the T20 series in Nottingham on Tuesday night. Bairstow thrashed 73 off 41 balls against the same opponents last summer, sparking the Bazball era under Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes for an England side captained by Moeen Ali in the absence of the rested Jos Buttler, a hot evening by the Trent. But as one batsman tried to reach New Zealand's spinners out of the ground, he went from 105 for one in the 12th to 175 for seven.
