England all-rounder Moeen Ali said on Thursday that there are many similarities between former international captains MS Dhoni and Eoin Morgan. He also said that they are both very calm and do not get scared by anything on or off the field. Ali played with Dhoni for Chennai Super Kings in two IPL seasons, while Morgan, who retired from international cricket on Tuesday, was their national captain in cue-ball cricket.
He said, “There are a lot of similarities between Dhoni and Morgan. They’re both very easy going. Nothing bothers them on or off the pitch, but they’re also very competitive. They know what they’re doing and they never panic. They’re not.”
The Times quotes Ali as saying: “I have never seen any of them speak in anger. If they feel they need to deal with someone, they do it one by one, at any time. Not in front of K. He never embarrasses anyone and the players trust in the”.
With Morgan now away from international cricket, there remains a gap in the England whiteball team, which he will captain, with batsman-goalkeeper Jos Buttler seen as the main contender. Ali, who was England captain at the time Morgan was injured in the middle of the T20I series against the West Indies this year, has commented that he will not be desperate for top position, so he feels Buttler has reason. fit.
Apart from cue-ball cricket, Ali said earlier this month that he would be available to return to Test cricket, especially when England tour Pakistan this year. The all-rounder had said: “I’ve talked to Brendan a lot. He’s getting ready for the winter schedule and of course I want to see Jack Leach do well. I don’t want to be the number 1 spinner and we can do two or more.” . We are not talking about three, we are talking about the next three years. If he has an injury or needs three or four spinners for the tour and still thinks I’m playing well enough, then I’d be very happy to be on the team.
