England all-rounder Moeen Ali recently retired from Test cricket and will represent England in the Ashes series.

English cricketer Moeen Ali revealed in a press conference that Ben Stokes had approached him about playing in the Ashes series to which I responded by saying ‘lol’.

ESPN Cricket Info also shared Ben Stokes’ WhatsApp post in which he asks Moeen Ali, “Ashes?”

It should be noted that all-rounder Moeen Ali is all set to return to Test cricket after Jack Leach’s injury. A verbal communication from Ben Stokes was enough to convince Moeen to reconsider his retirement from Test matches.

The 35-year-old cricketer said that only Stokes could convince him, and initially, I thought Stokes was joking but when I heard the news about Leitch’s injury, I had a conversation with him.
