Sep 15 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong> Cricket Australia (CA) has decided to launch a probe on England all-rounder Moeen Ali's allegations against an Australian player for calling him "Osama" during the 2015 Ashes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Moeen, 31, made the accusation in his soon-to-be-released autobiography, where he also labelled the 2015 Australian touring party as "rude" and "disrespectful".<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"It was a great first Ashes Test in terms of my personal performance. However there was one incident which had distracted me," Moeen wrote.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"An Australian player had turned to me on the field and said, 'Take that, Osama'. I could not believe what I had heard. I remember going really red. I have never been so angry on a cricket field," he wrote.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I told a couple of the guys what the player had said to me and I think (England coach) Trevor Bayliss must have raised it with Darren Lehmann, the Australians' coach. Lehmann asked the player, 'Did you call Moeen, Osama?' He denied it, saying, 'No, I said, 'Take that, you part-timer'," Moeen wrote.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I must say I was amused when I heard that, obviously I had to take the player's word for it, though for the rest of the match I was angry," he further wrote.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Responding to Moeen's claims, a Cricket Australia spokesperson said: "Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and have no place in our sport, or in society."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We have a clear set of values and behaviours that comes with representing our country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We take this matter very seriously, and are following up with the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) as a matter of urgency to seek further clarification around the alleged incident," he added.
