Moeen Ali will not appear in any of the two remaining trials of an India tour. That’s because, in the words of captain Joe Root, the collector has “chosen to go home”. England’s selectors and team management have adhered to a rotation policy for this hectic year, but while it was in other players’ cases, it was reported that the issue has been taken out of the player’s hands, the a way in which Moeen’s departure was explained emerges. that it was entirely the calling of the player.
Some divisions of the English media have said that the spinner has suffered a different treatment, giving the impression that he is abandoning the team in the middle of a crucial and challenging test series, while he plans to return for the T20 series with a view to the Indian Premier League. Former captains Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen have also criticized Moeen’s departure.
Like other multiplayer players, he was given a window of rest after the first two trials against India. But after appearing in just one Test out of four in Sri Lanka and India and with only Dom Bess being inconsistent and less familiar in the squad as a similar place together, the team leaders seemed to hope Moeen forgot to break.
Guardian Ali Martin was embroiled in controversy in the controversy when he said that while top selector Ed Smith and head coach Chris Silverwood did not reveal any debate inside the media, Moeen has said “Now getting its promise to the national team to be questioned by some supporters after their loss” in Tuesday’s second Test.
Why is Moeen going backwards?
Because he is tired of quarantine life. He had contracted Covid-19 in Sri Lanka and could not play any game. He played his second Test in Chennai and has now chosen to return home. He has been in quarantine since the beginning of January and if selected in an IPL auction, that period would extend to the end of May – six months in total.
What was the controversy in his decision to go back?
That was the way the Root claimed it was gone. So far, for all the other players sent home – Sam Curran, Mark Wood, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler – the English ruling had said the rotation policy was the cause. For Moeen, Root said, “It wasn’t about asking him if he wanted to stay. It was a decision he chose. He wants to get out of the bubble and that’s totally mediocre. We respect where he is at. It seems to have been a very difficult journey for him. As mentioned at the beginning, if players feel like they need to get out of the bubble, that has become an option and I think it is very important that we stick to that side. That decision was made and we hope he feels better about it. ”
How has the English language media responded?
Curator Andy Bull writes: “From this point on, Moeen ‘s position is no different from that of Jos Buttler, or Jonny Bairstow, (like them, he will play in the IPL if picked up by permission). But by describing this as Moeen ‘s decision, Root left him open to allegations that he is not committed. It would be a clichéd way to handle any player, but it’s especially true for someone who has talked before about how he’s been asked to always feel like one of the first guys to the ‘blame’, and who in England own bowling coach Jeetan Patel, just got said just that he needs to ‘feel some love from the game’.
