The Ashes 2023: England need a back-up plan if Moeen Ali injury problem continues


Parachuted in on the eve of the Ashes, England’s emergency back-up spinner is now broken himself, and unless a long-running finger injury solves itself in the next week, then Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum may well be forced to pick from the well of County Championship spinners they preferred to ignore just two weeks ago.

Speaking after England’s dramatic two-wicket defeat at Edgbaston, head coach McCullum insisted that despite Moeen’s badly blistered finger restricting the quantity and quality of overs he could bowl, the gamble of his selection had been worth it and that he expects him to play at Lord’s next week.
