Nasser Hussain has praised Moeen Ali, calling him an inspirational figure both on and off the cricket field following Ali's retirement announcement from international cricket. Throughout his career, Ali played 68 Tests, 138 ODIs, and 92 T20Is, becoming the first British Asian captain in a T20I match against Australia in 2020. Hussain emphasized Ali's significant impact on his community, noting his role as a model for British Asians and Muslims, showcasing diverse career paths in sports. Despite his notable contributions, including being part of England's World Cup-winning teams, Ali's absence from the upcoming series against Australia prompted his retirement. Hussain highlighted Ali's popularity among teammates and his ability to uplift team dynamics. Ali plans to continue playing franchise cricket in the future.
