Moeen Ali is confident in his potential role as England’s cricket team captain, considering Jos Buttler’s possible departure for the birth of his third child.
Moeen Ali, England’s T20I and ODI vice-captain, views potentially stepping into the captaincy as a great honor and expresses confidence in handling the role seamlessly, maintaining communication and alignment with Jos Buttler.
England’s T20I series against Pakistan was interrupted by rain, forcing the cancellation of the opening game at Headingley on May 22. The next match is set for May 25 at Edgbaston.
As vice-captain, Ali is ready to take on leadership responsibilities for the ongoing series against Pakistan and potentially for the upcoming T20 World Cup commencing on June 1 in the USA and West Indies.
The remaining three games of the series hold significant importance for both teams acting as their final preparation before the T20 World Cup as no warm-up matches are scheduled.
Moeen Ali expressed disappointment over the cancellation of the match on Wednesday emphasizing that playing cricket is the best preparation. He hopes that the players will get valuable game time in the upcoming matches.
These three games should suffice for the guys to get into rhythm, and with some time in the West Indies and a few training sessions, we’ll be ready. There are no excuses from our side,” remarked Ali. England, placed in Group B, will begin their T20 World Cup defense on June 4 against Scotland in Barbados.
