Ashes 2023: Moeen Ali Announces his Retirement again After the Ashes 2023 series: Moeen Ali announced his retirement from Test cricket for the second time after the 2023 Ashes series. He had initially retired from Test cricket in September 2021, but he came out of retirement to play in the Ashes after Jack Leach was ruled out due to injury.
Moeen Ali played well in the Ashes 2023; he took nine wickets and scored 270 runs. However, he has now decided to retire from Test cricket. Ali’s decision to retire was not unexpected. He had been struggling with form in recent years.
In an interview with BBC Test Match Special, Ali said that he had made the decision to retire because he felt that he was no longer able to perform at his best in Test cricket. He said that he had “given everything” to Test cricket and that he was “proud” of what he had achieved.
Ali’s retirement is a blow to England’s Test team, as he was one of their most experienced and successful bowlers. He was also a valuable asset with the bat, and he was often used as a floater in the batting order. However, Ali’s retirement will also free up a spot in the England team, giving the selectors a chance to include a new spinner.
Ali’s retirement is a significant moment in English cricket history. He was one of the first players of Asian origin to break into the England team, and he helped to pave the way for other players from minority backgrounds. He was also a role model for young cricketers from all over the world.
Ali’s retirement will be a loss to the Test game, but he can be proud of what he has achieved in his career. He was a talented all-rounder who significantly contributed to England’s success in both Test and white-ball cricket. He will be remembered as one of England’s most successful cricketers of the modern era.

- 5 Test centuries, including a highest score of 155
