England cricket team’s star all-rounder Moeen Ali is planning to retire from the ODI format due to continuous cricket. Recently, the team’s Test captain Ben Stokes had retired from ODIs. Moin says that if nothing is done about the busy cricketer calendar, he will not be able to play in ODIs. The England cricket team has played a total of 12 limited overs matches in two series against India and South Africa in the last 25 days and the players of the team have become very upset due to the continuous cricket.
The ICC’s plan to organize a global event every year due to the worldwide franchise league cricket has increased the workload of the players. On this Moeen Ali said that this strategy of ICC is not effective at all. Moeen is currently playing in the ongoing The Hundred tournament in England. Moeen is captaining Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred.
