Former England cricket player Moeen Ali showered India's Mohammed Siraj with praise for his incredible performance in the newly completed series against England and stated the bowler has taken tremendous steps towards becoming a complete bowler in international cricket.
The England tour was one of Siraj's best performances in Test cricket, leading the wicket-charts with 23 scalps and running throughout the series like a warrior for more than 185 overs, unrelenting, never fatigued.
Though pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah featured in just three Tests due to his workload management, it was Siraj who let loose his 'Miyan Magic' when his favorite 'Jassi Bhai' required some respite.
"Siraj has been outstanding in the England series. The energy, aggression, and consistency he brings with the ball is world-class. He's matured into a genuine match-winner for India, and it's always a challenge for batsmen facing him," stated Moeen Ali to ANI.
"What impresses me most is his ability to control the ball. He has got a big heart and never backs down -- that is what makes him so special. Credit to him for the impact he's making," added Ali.
Ali retired from global cricket and is trying out his cricketing skills in Dubai, where he currently lives. With 6,678 runs, eight hundreds and 366 wickets in 298 global outings, Moeen was England's largest match-winner of this era and also played in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) tournament, scoring 43 runs in three innings but not getting a wicket.
"Moeen was a great cricketer and did well in the recent WCL tournament. It was a pleasure to welcome Moeen Ali to our London office. He's not only a world-class sportsman but also a thoughtful individual. We're excited to assist him in finding a property that reflects his taste and values," said Irfan Wahid, CEO of GFS Developments.
Moeen, though not representing England, will remain active in the T20 league series.
