Moeen Ali will captain Birmingham Phoenix in English cricket’s new The Hundred competition, it was announced Tuesday. The England all-rounder, who grew up near Edgbaston, the venue for the Phoenix’ home matches, will lead a side that includes fellow World Cup winner Chris Woakes as well as New Zealand captain Kane Williamson. “I know how much of a uniting game cricket is and as a leader of the Birmingham Phoenix that is something I definitely want to promote,” explained the 32-year-old, Worcestershire’s captain when it won the 2018 Twenty20 Blast title at Edgbaston. READ | Phoenix head coach Andrew McDonald said: “Moeen is a fantastic all-rounder and has the experience and temperament to lead the team.” Moeen is currently taking time out from Test cricket, having made himself unavailable for England’s tour of Sri Lanka next month, with his last appearance in the format coming in the 2019 Ashes opener against Australia.
