    "editor1": "<p><strong>London, Feb 18:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;England all-rounder Moeen Ali has been named captain of the Birmingham Phoenix mens team for the inaugural season of The Hundred.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moeen, who captained Worcestershire to the T20 Blast title in 2018 and last year&#39;s runners-up position, said: &quot;Every time that I come to Edgbaston it takes me back to some great first memories of coming here at a very young age.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I grew up in this area and to be the first men&#39;s captain of Birmingham Phoenix in a new and inclusive competition that will reach out to communities and welcome them in is very special for me,&quot; he was quoted as saying by the Guardian.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We&#39;re a tight-knit city in Birmingham. We have so much around us that brings the people together, no matter who you are or your background. I know how much of a uniting game cricket is and as a leader of the Birmingham Phoenix that is something I definitely want to promote,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moeen is due to begin a spell with Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League this week, having turned down a spot on England&#39;s upcoming tour of Sri Lanka, and will then spend the early part of the home summer playing in the Indian Premier League.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
