He is well aware of the fact that there is a lot of competition going on within the group especially when it comes to the bowling department.

“There have been times where I could have been dropped, and I’ve played. I don’t take anything for granted. I’m just trying to stay in the present at the moment.”

Ali is hopeful to present himself on a bigger platform and be a part England national team in times to come.

“I’m playing well, and I just want to keep up the form with Worcester and, hopefully, with England one day as well. I’m just trying to do my best, put my name up there again and see what happens.”
