An English cricketer of Pakistani descent, Moeen Ali earned a call-up to the English side for his off-spin after the shock retirement of Graeme Swann. But it was his batting pedigree that stood out in his early days.

He started his ODI career as an opener, but soon shifted to the lower order after players like Hales and Roy started producing big knocks. With the English side consisting of star players like Root, Morgan and Stokes, he has been allowed the opportunity to play with freedom. He has delivered the goods more often than not, giving England that big flourish at the end of an innings.
