Test Match Special: In the early hours of Sunday morning, Moeen Ali called the curtains on a solid international career. Following his announcement, England’s all time top run scorer in Test cricket and ex-captain Alastair Cook has hailed the all-rounder as the ‘most selfless player to play for England.

"Moeen was probably the most selfless player to play for England. He would do anything the team required, probably to the hindrance of his career, he batted from one to eight He was picked as a batter but the amount he developed his bowling was amazing. He was also much tougher than people realised. In clutch moments, he was a gutsy cricketer. He was one of the great team-mates,” said Alastair Cook on BBC’s Test Match Special.

Moeen made his white-ball debut for England on their 2014 tour of West Indies and went on to play 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is for the country in his 10-year career. He made his Test debut at the Lord's against Sri Lanka, and represented England in 68 Tests overall. He finishes with 6678 runs, including eight centuries and 28 fifties, and 366 wickets for England across the three formats.
