Moeen, a two-time IPL champion with Chennai Super Kings, also led Worcestershire to their first Blast victory in 2018 and captained Birmingham Phoenix to the final of the inaugural Hundred tournament. He has established himself as one of the most successful white-ball cricketers of his generation in domestic and franchise competitions worldwide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In 420 career T20 matches so far, he has accumulated 7,792 runs and claimed 271 wickets. His top score is 121 not out in the Vitality Blast. An essential part of England\u2019s influential limited-overs teams, he has won two World Cups. In 92 T20 Internationals, he has taken 51 wickets and scored 1,229 runs, including seven half-centuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m delighted to be joining Yorkshire for the Blast. It\u2019s a huge club with a proud history, but what really appeals to me is where the team is heading. There\u2019s a lot of talent in the squad and the chance to work with Anthony and help push the group forward is exciting for me. I\u2019ve always loved playing at Headingley \u2014 the wicket, the atmosphere and the supporters make it a special place. This feels like a fresh challenge and I\u2019m arriving hungry for it. I want to bring my experience, enjoy my cricket and help Yorkshire compete,\u201d Moeen said in a statement released by the club.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yorkshire are yet to win the Blast title and ended eighth out of nine teams in the North Group last year. The club lost Dawid Malan to Gloucestershire and Jordan Thompson to Warwickshire during the off-season but added Australians Sam Whiteman and Andrew Tye as local players and signed overseas players Naveen-ul-Haq and Logan van Beek.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gavin Hamilton, Yorkshire\u2019s general manager of cricket, believes that the signing highlights the Club\u2019s goals and future ambitions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
