Moeen extends his cricket break

LONDON: England all-roun­der Moeen Ali has extended his break from international cricket, saying that he wants to get the feeling of making his debut again when he does eventually walk out to an international arena again.

Moeen’s last international appearance came during the home Ashes series earlier this year, following which he made himself unavailable for selection indefinitely.

He did admit to feeling tempted to return for the tour of South Africa, where his team had triumphed 2-1 in a four-match series back in 2015-16, before eventually deciding that it was “too soon” to make a return.

“Last week, there were con­ver­sations about whe­ther I felt ready to return

for the South Africa tour, and naturally, part of me

was keen to get back out there,” Moeen wrote in his column for The Guardian. — icc-cricket.com
