England have been told they a better chance of winning the Ashes now that Moeen Ali has decided to end his Test retirement and replace the injured Jack Leach.
The return of all rounder Moeen was confirmed by the ECB on Wednesday morning after the 35-year-old accepted Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum’s overtures to end his red ball exile and help them out of a tricky spot.
And England’s greatest ever off spinner Graeme Swann reckons the duo have pulled off another masterstroke by persuading the mercurial but brilliant Moeen back into the fold, nearly two years after his last red ball match.
