"Moeen Ali has proven his mettle in all three formats of the game, but what sets him apart is his versatility. With his exceptional batting and spin bowling skills, Ali has become a crucial asset to the England cricket team. He is a good batsman in the middle order and an economical bowler who can take wickets in ODIs. He is also an equally valuable fielder. Ali's batting style personifies elegance, timing, and aggression. He has also shown how he can be a top-order batsman, capable of stabilizing the innings or launching a counter-attack when required. His spin bowling has added a new dimension to England's cricketing arsenal. He is no part-time spinner and has often shown how he can dismantle strong batting lineups. Beyond the field, he has advocated inclusivity in cricket and often raised awareness about the importance of diversity and equal representation in the sport.
One-day memory: Moeen Ali's best ODI figures of 4/46 came against Australia in 2018 at Old Trafford
One more thing: As a kid, Ali's favourite after game snack was baked beans on toast. He now misses his mothers cooking when on tour."
