The World Cup-winning player says he felt ‘the time was right’ to move on after representing England across all formats for 10 years.

Ali, the first Muslim and Asian-origin cricketer to captain England in T20 internationals (T20Is), announced his decision in an interview with former captain Nasser Hussain which was published in the Daily Mail on Sunday.
“I’m 37 years old and didn’t get picked for this month’s Australia series,” Ali said.
