England's Moeen Ali returns to the outfield during the second T20 international cricket match between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston, in Birmingham, central England, on May 25, 2024. / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE.
Ali, one of the first openly Muslim cricketers to represent England, had already called time in his red-ball international career but said he could have extended a stint in the national set-up that has seen him appear in 68 Tests, 138 ODIs and 92 T20s. "Even retiring, I don't feel it's because I'm not good enough -- I still feel I can play. But I get how things are, and the team needs to evolve into another cycle. It's about being real to myself."
