England spin-bowling all-rounder Moeen Ali has admitted that former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq was one batsman who really made him feel pressure when bowling.

Moeen Ali: “It’s the way he played. I tried to copy him as much as I could. And when I was younger, I used to try and bat like him, so like I [used to] lean on the bat… block it for four. But his timing… he’s amazing on the eye”

England all-rounder Moeen Ali has revealed that he tried to copy Pakistan opening batsman Saeed Anwar as much as he could.

Moeen Ali: “Naseem Shah, Shaheen, and Haris Rauf are very good, don’t get me wrong. We’re not saying they’re bad, but they’re not the best either”

England all-rounder Moeen Ali doesn’t think Pakistan fast bowlers Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf are “the best”.

Moeen Ali: “Babar Azam, obviously, everybody knows that he’s an amazing player, he’s a brilliant player. As far as [his] ranking is concerned, I don’t care personally – I mean you watch a player, and you know he’s a top player”

England all-rounder Moeen Ali said Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan is “hard to stop” once he gets going.

Moeen Ali: “I thought the 2 Pakistan openers were brilliant. I know they get a lot of stick for their strike-rates but I believe their strike-rates are very good anyway. They are brilliant players”

England all-rounder Moeen Ali believes that Pakistan captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are unfairly criticised for their strike-rate in T20Is.

Yasir Hameed: “If Moeen Ali is telling England batters to learn to stay on the crease from Rizwan, then why can’t our players learn from him too”
