England recall Moeen for 2nd Test against India

block

Worcestershire all-rounder Moeen Ali has been added to the England squad for the second Test against India. Moeen, 34, last played Test cricket in February in the second match of the series against India at Chennai. That was his first Test since the Ashes opener at Edgbaston in 2019. Fellow all-rounders Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes are currently unavailable for England, who were outplayed for large periods as they drew last week’s series opener at Trent Bridge. Moeen has represented England in limited-overs cricket this summer while being captain of Birmingham Phoenix in the Hundred, helping them to the top of the men’s table.
