English dynamic all-rounder Moeen Ali has announced retirement from international Cricket at the age of 37. Moeen Ali took the decision following his omission from the Australia white-ball series.

Moeen Ali Moeen Ali made his international debut back in 2014 against West Indies in the ODI Cricket. He represented England for 68 Tests, 138 ODI's and 92 T20I's as an allrounder. He finishes his career with 6678 runs, eight centuries, 28 fifties and 366 wickets for England across all formats. His last international outing was England's semi-final defeat to India at the T20 World Cup in Guyana.

"I'm 37 years old and didn't get picked for this month's Australia series," Moeen said in a Daily Mail interview. "I've played a lot of cricket for England. It's time for the next generation, which was also explained to me. It felt the time was right. I've done my part."

"I'm very proud. When you first play for England, you don't know how many games you're going to play. So to play nearly 300…My first few years were all about Test cricket. Once Morgs [Eoin Morgan] took over the one-day stuff, that was more fun. But Test cricket was the proper cricket.

"Even now, I've tried to be realistic. I could hold on and try to play for England again, but I know in reality I won't. Even retiring, I don't feel it's because I'm not good enough -- I still feel I can play. But I get how things are, and the team needs to evolve into another cycle. It's about being real to myself."

"People forget the impact you make in games. It might only have been 20 or 30, but it was a crucial 20 or 30. For me, it was about making an impact. I know what I brought to the side, on and off the field. As long as I felt people enjoyed watching me play, whether or not I did well, I was happy with that."

However, he'll continue playing franchise Cricket and is set to play for Guyana Amazon Warriors as a replacement of Saim Ayub in CPL 2024.

"A bit of franchise cricket, because I still love playing. But coaching is something I want to do -- I want to be one of the best. I can learn a lot from Baz [Brendon McCullum]. I hope people remember me as a free spirit. I played some nice shots and some bad shots, but hopefully people enjoyed watching me."

Moeen also reflected his career's greatest moments. He says winning the Ashes and two World Cups were the greatest achievements with England also says that picking up a hat-trick against South Africa in Test Cricket was his individual best moment.

"Winning the Ashes and two World Cups was great, but from an individual point of view it was my Test hat-trick against South Africa at the Oval to win us the game. And I'm proud to have the fastest T20 50 for England (16 balls vs South Africa in 2022)."
