Moeen Ali To Play For Cape Town Blitz In Mzansi Super League

The England All-Rounder Moeen Ali is the latest cricketer to sign a deal to play in Mzansi Super League. The flamboyant batsman set to play for Cape Town Blitz. He joins as cover for Wahab Riaz, will feature in only two opening matches for the Blitz — on November 8 against Jozi Stars and on November 10 against Paarl Rocks.

Moeen, who was part of England squad that lifted the World Cup earlier this year, missed out on a Test central contract for 2019-20. He opted to take a break from the longest format and has been rested for the ongoing five-match T20I series in New Zealand.

Speaking of the appointment, Moeen Ali quoted that he is quite excited about the new joining and wants to deliver the goods for the team. With the world-class players set to play the tournament, Moeen Ali hopes to give his best for the team.

“I’m very excited to be part of the MSL and joining Cape Town Blitz for the start of the tournament. I’m looking forward to playing with and against some world-class players,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Moeen as saying.

We are looking forward to having him – Ashwell Prince

“Moeen brings huge international experience to the team and in county cricket, he won the T20 Blast in 2018 with Worcestershire Rapids and he led them to the 2019 final, so we’re looking forward to having him in Cape Town.”
