Moeen Ali Signs for Worcestershire
Worcestershire County Cricket Club is delighted to be able to confirm reports in the Birmingham Post that Moeen Ali has signed a playing contract for the next three seasons.
Chief Executive, Mark Newton, says “We have established a very good relationship with the Ali family over the years. Moeen’s brother, Kadeer, was a player with us and his cousin, Kabir, is one of our senior players. We have a small professional squad so the addition of Moeen is a key part of our planning for the future.”
Director of Cricket, Steven Rhodes, said: “Moeen is one of the outstanding young players in English Cricket at present. We believe that several counties have shown an interest in him but we are delighted he has chosen Worcestershire to pursue his cricketing career and I am sure he will be challenging for a starting spot from the start of next season.”
