Longlisted for the Specsavers National Book Awards, 2018
Longlisted for The Telegraph's Sports Book Awards - Autobiography of the Year, 2019
One of the Daily Mail's and the Observer's Books of the Year, 2018
The match-winning superstar of the England cricket team finally shares his remarkable personal story in this eagerly-awaited autobiography.
Moeen traces his journey from street cricket to the county game and his first-class debut as a teenager, through to his international debut at the relatively late age of 26 and the golden summer of 2017, when he was anointed Player of the Series against South Africa with thousands of England fans chanting his name.
But cricket is just one part of Moeen's life. His upbringing in the tough Sparkhill neighbourhood of Birmingham and the awakening at nineteen that led him to become a devout Muslim have given him a social conscience unusual for an elite athlete but have also attracted controversy. Here, for the first time, Moeen tells his side of the story.
Talented, tenacious and thoughtful, Moeen Ali is a true all-rounder.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
I loved Moeen Ali's autobiography...Not only does Ali have the best cricket beard since W.G. Grace, he is also the most culturally significant English Test cricketer since Basil D'Oliveira. -- Peter Oborne * Daily Mail (Books of the Year) * The passages on Moeen's family life are riveting and eye-opening...Moeen is renowned for rarely ducking a question, and some of his anecdotes puncture the sanctity of the dressing room...Moeen has achieved harmony, respect and excellence and is all the finer for it. * The Cricketer *
