In what will be a big development in the English test side ever since the arrival of Brendon McCullum as the head coach, Moeen Ali has 'officially unretired' and made himself available for England's tour of Pakistan later this year for a three test matches and seven T20Is.
Moeen retired from test cricket in September 2021 after the India series. "I felt like I was done, to be honest. I was hoping to play the last Test - there were a couple of milestones I wanted to pass - but once that game got called off, I realised that was it," the all-rounder had said at that time as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
However, the 34-year-old recently revealed that "When, or if, Baz McCullum wants me, I'll definitely play in Pakistan," to BBC Test Match Special. Moeen did have a chat with the England test coach on the same weekend which convinced him to 'unretire' from the longer format.
