Moeen Ali: A Vital Cog Who Could Have Been Much More

Q: Why did Moeen get into trouble with the ICC in 2014?

He was warned for wearing wristbands that had the messages “Save Gaza” and “Free Palestine.”

When you look at the international career of Moeen Ali, the feeling you get is of promise not quite fulfilled. He became only the 4th England all-rounder â€“ after Ian Botham, Andrew Flintoff and Stuart Broad â€“ to complete the rare double of 3000 Test runs and 200 wickets. But the feeling persisted that Ali didnâ€™t manage to do justice to the batting talent that fetched him only 5 Test hundreds.

Moeen had batted at every position from 1 to 9, and was frequently the scapegoat when Englandâ€™s inconsistent Test side did badly. It was a different story in the colored uniform. He was part of a new, attacking English ODI side after the 2015 World Cup disaster. Moeenâ€™s role in Englandâ€™s ODI transformation and World Cup win on home soil in 2019 was instrumental.

In the Indian T20 League , the Bangalore team were the first to take a chance on him, though it didnâ€™t quite work out for him there. There were enough glimpses of free-stroking batting and clever bowling to get the Chennai team interested before the 2021 season. With no Test cricket, Moeen could yet enjoy several more years as a top white-ball all-rounder and in franchise cricket.

Moeen Ali - Key Skills and Strengths

Though he first caught the selectorsâ€™ eye as an attacking batter, Moeen was first picked in the England set-up as a replacement for Graeme Swannâ€™s off-spin. He had some superb performances with the bat in those early years, including 4 Test centuries in 2016. With the ball, he picked up 19 wickets against India at home in 2014, with his spells in Southampton crucial to a series-levelling victory. One of the few players not to be tainted by the miserable 2015 World Cup failure, Moeen became an integral part of the rebuild under Eoin Morgan and Trevor Bayliss

Moeen Aliâ€™s Awards and Achievements

Though Ali played only 5 of the 11 matches in the winning World Cup campaign in 2019, Moeen was very much part of the England cricket teamâ€™s transformation into a white-ball power after 2015.

Here are some of Moeenâ€™s biggest achievements in international cricket:

Moeen is one of only 5 players in this century to score 250 runs and take 20 wickets in a Test series.
He is the 16th player (4th English) in cricket history to score 3000 Test runs and take 200 wickets.
He was part of England's 2019 Cricket World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup wins.

Moeen Aliâ€™s Indian T20 League Journey

Moeen was purchased by the Bangalore team in 2018, but his opportunities were limited that season as well as in 2020. He made more of an impression during the Indian T20 League in 2019, with 220 runs and 6 wickets in 11 matches.

But after the Chennai team vouched for him in 2021, Moeen showed off his quality with 357 runs and 16 wickets as the team clinched a 4th title. Such was the impact of his displays that Chennai had little hesitation in retaining him before the auction in 2022.
