Englands Ali Retires From International Cricket At 37

England all-rounder Moeen Ali has retired from international cricket at age 37, the player told the Daily Mail in an interview published on Saturday.

The Birmingham-born left-handed batter and right-arm spinner has played in 68 tests, 138 One-Day Internationals ODIs and 92 T20 Internationals T20Is for England since 2014, with his last international appearance in June.

I'm 37 years old and didn't get picked for this month's Australia series, Ali said.

I've played a lot of cricket for England. It's time for the next generation, which was also explained to me. It felt the time was right. I've done my part.

The first Asian-origin cricketer to captain England in T20Is, Ali has scored five centuries in Tests and three in ODIs, also taking 366 wickets across all three formats. He was in the squad when England won the 50-over World Cup in 2019 and the T20 World Cup in 2022.
