Moeen Ali Back In England Squad For Odis Versus Scotland And Australia

Moeen Ali is back in the England squad for the ODI against Scotland in Edinburgh on Sunday June 10 and a 14-man squad for the five-match Royal London ODI series against Australia commencing at the Kia Oval on Wednesday June 13.

The Worcestershire all-rounder was not selected for the two Test Series against Pakistan currently taking place.

But the 30-year-old is part of a 13 strong party to take on the Scots and a 14 man squad to face the Aussies.

He has been a key part of the England side which has risen to number one in the ICC ODI rankings.

Moeen played all 10 of England’s ODIS in the winter – the 4-1 win over Australia and 3-2 success against New Zealand.

He is currently in action for his County in the Royal London One-Day Cup and has featured so far in the games versus Lancashire and Leicestershire Foxes.

Moeen will come up against his Worcestershire team-mate Travis Head when England tackle the Australians.
