‘Only Ben Stokes Could Get Me Back To Test Cricket,’ Says Moeen Ali | Cricket News

[ad_1] Moeen Ali said Ben Stokes was the only England captain who could have persuaded him to come out of Test retirement.

Gatting, a gutsy batsman who led England to victory Down Under in the 1986-87 Ashes, said he found the recall hard to fathom."When I heard it I couldn't quite understand it, because obviously Moeen doesn't want to play Test cricket and I don't understand why he wants to come back for this," Gatting said at a charity event in Bangkok on Thursday.Ali, an elegant ...
