In a decade-long international career, Moeen played 68 Tests, 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is for England, amassing 6678 runs, and 366 wickets across all formats. He also signs off as a 2019 ODI World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup winner. His last international game was England's semi-final defeat to eventual champions India at the Men\u2019s T20 World Cup in Guyana in June.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"He was very much a utility for England throughout his career. You think about how he started playing for Worcestershire and he was a part-time off-spinner and England were so in need of a specialist spin bowler that could bat. He was there on merit as England's No 1 spin bowler.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"With the bat he was incredibly pleasing on the eye and had some wonderful moments. When you think about him as a player you remember the shots, you don't necessarily remember the innings. You see the beautiful cover drive and pick up over square leg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"From everyone you speak to talking about Mo, it's about what a wonderful character he was and someone who put everyone at east in the dressing room. He was a deep thinker about the game,\" said Butcher to Sky Sports Cricket ahead of day three\u2019s play in England-Sri Lanka Test at The Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Moeen also became the first British Asian cricketer to captain England during a T20I against Australia in 2020. Former England skipper Nasser Hussain said Moeen was a role model for his community, along with leg-spinner Adil Rashid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
