Following his announcement, England\u2019s all time top run scorer in Test cricket and ex-captain Alastair Cook has hailed the all-rounder as the \u2018most selfless player to play for England.\n<p>\"Moeen was probably the most selfless player to play for England. He would do anything the team required, probably to the hindrance of his career, he batted from one to eight He was picked as a batter but the amount he developed his bowling was amazing. He was also much tougher than people realised. In clutch moments, he was a gutsy cricketer. He was one of the great team-mates,\u201d said Alastair Cook on BBC\u2019s Test Match Special.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moeen made his white-ball debut for England on their 2014 tour of West Indies and went on to play 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is for the country in his 10-year career. He made his Test debut at the Lord's against Sri Lanka, and represented England in 68 Tests overall. He finishes with 6678 runs, including eight centuries and 28 fifties, and 366 wickets for England across the three formats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>His outings see him retire as England\u2019s third most successful spinner in Test Cricket with 204 wickets, only behind Graeme Swann (255) and Derek Underwood (297).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ali\u2019s last time representing England came at the 2024 T20 World Cup following which he was left out of the squad that will face Australia in a three-game T20I series in September.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>His outings see him retire as England\u2019s third most successful spinner in Test Cricket with 204 wickets, only behind Graeme Swann (255) and Derek Underwood (297).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/were-trying-to-create-a-special-fund-for-test-cricket-says-jay-shah-150289\">Funding For Test Cricket<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
