Moin Ali is the latest England star targeted by the American Major League Cricket and his Indian Premier League team are planning to offer him a multi-franchise deal that includes him. joining the Texas Super Kings.
On Thursday, Jason Roy canceled his additional contract with England to play in the United States, raising concerns that others might follow suit.
And Moin — unlike Roy, the player with the central contract — is wanted by Texas, which is owned by the Chennai Super Kings. Chennai also has a South African 20th league team, the Joburg Super Kings, and they want to hire Moen for that team as well.
Texas tried to sign Moin for that season's Major League Cricket tournament but, as an England contract player, Moen was not allowed to play. But in Texas, they are very hopeful that Moen will be signed by the 2024 season.
Moen has a main contract until October 1st. He is a big part of England's plans for a 50-man World Cup in India this year, but could well retire from ODI play after the tournament. «Perhaps the time has come when I think I'm done with it,» he said in March.
The 2024 T20 World Championship will take place in June in the West Indies and the Americas and Moen can still compete in this competition. But the tournament could be the natural end to his international career as England plans to revive their team after the T20 World Cup. Moin will turn 36 next month and will be around 39 by the time of the 2026 T20 World Cup.
The 2024 Major League Cricket edition is due to start shortly after the World Cup and the Super Kings are hoping Moin will compete for Texas. Unless England changes its stance on center-contract players who are barred from appearing in Major League Cricket – unlikely given the clash with the English summer – Moin could only show up if he no longer had an international contract or left from the team.
Moen is one of the most coveted T20 players in the world, highly regarded for his adaptability and dedication. Although he is known for his strong spin, he can also be destructive against the pace and enjoy moving up or down the order as needed. His off-spin, which is used both with a new ball and in the middle of an over, provides the necessary balance for the team. Moin is in his third season at Chennai and became the first Englishman to play for the winning team in the 2021 final.
Moin returned to Warwickshire this season and captained the Birmingham Bears T20 team in this season. Explosion T20. This year, instead of playing in the South African T20 league, he appeared in ILT20 in the UAE, but the Super Kings are hoping he can also represent Joburg in future seasons, meaning he will represent all three Supers. Kings sides.
Chennai Super Kings have already shown that they intend to connect with top figures in their franchises in other T20 leagues. Stephen Fleming, head coach of Chennai, fills the same role in both Yoburgh and Texas.
