AFP, London :
England all-rounder Moeen Ali on Monday announced he was retiring from Test cricket to focus on his white-ball career, saying the format’s “intensity can be too much sometimes”.
The 34-year-old scored five centuries and took 195 wickets in cricket’s longest format, including a top score of 155 not out and five five-wicket hauls.
“I want to play for as long as I can and I just want to enjoy my cricket,” he said. “Test cricket is amazing. When you’re having a good day it’s better than any other format by far. It’s more rewarding and you feel like you’ve really earned it.”
