Moeen Ali Was Wonderful Character Who Put Dressing Room At Ease, Says Mark Butcher
ODI World Cup: Former England cricketer Mark Butcher reflected on Moeen Ali's international retirement, saying everyone has always talked about how the off-spin all-rounder would keep the dressing room at ease with his wonderful character.
In a decade-long international career, Moeen played 68 Tests, 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is for England, amassing 6678 runs, and 366 wickets across all formats. He also signs off as a 2019 ODI World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup winner. His last international game was England's semi-final defeat to eventual champions India at the Men’s T20 World Cup in Guyana in June.
"He was very much a utility for England throughout his career. You think about how he started playing for Worcestershire and he was a part-time off-spinner and England were so in need of a specialist spin bowler that could bat. He was there on merit as England's No 1 spin bowler."
