Moeen Ali intends to “go with the flow” in the upcoming Ashes series and given the week just gone, the enormity of the challenge to come, and the team he has rejoined, it seems a fittingly decent outlook.
A week last Sunday, eyeing up a summer in the Blast, the Hundred and a family holiday in the Cotswolds, Moeen received a text from Ben Stokes that simply read: “Ashes?” Unaware that Jack Leach was out of the series with a lower-back stress fracture, this was met with a typical Moeen reply of “LOL”.
