Moeen Ali
Moeen Ali, who had previously announced that he would 'unretire' from Test cricket has now, once again, overturned his decision. The all-rounder was planning a Test comeback prior to England's series against Pakistan.
In June, Ali had "unretired" from the format after a conversation with England's new head coach Brendon McCullum after bring unsure about his participation in the format.
In a recent development, Ali penned down that he is unwilling to return to the format in December. He captained England in the T20I series against Pakistan and drove the team to 4-3 win, in the absence of regular captain Jos Buttler.
Moeen Ali on retiring once again
"I've had an honest chat with Baz [McCullum] about the tour and I really can't see myself being stuck in hotels for another month and playing Test cricket to the best of my ability."
"Yes, I said I was 'unretired' in the summer and watching the boys, I got the feeling I properly miss this and that this is how I've always wanted to play the game."
"But the more I thought about it and discussed with those close to me, I knew deep down why I was done. Test cricket is hard work. I don't think my mindset would be any different even if the restrictions were lifted in Pakistan. I'm 35 now and something's got to give."
