ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): After South African star batter Faf du Plessis’s decision, former England all-rounder Moeen Ali has also decided to play in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and skip the Indian Premier League (IPL).

He announced the development on his social media platforms on Monday, inviting excitement among PSL fans.

Moeen, 38, expressed his excitement at joining the PSL, noting that the league has earned a reputation for hosting top-level cricket.

“It’s time for a new beginning. I am extremely excited to be part of the new era of HBL PSL. The PSL holds a prominent place in T20 cricket because of its high standards and world-class talent,” he wrote.

Moeen Ali added that playing in Pakistan has always been a great experience. “The quality of cricket here and the extraordinary passion of the fans is remarkable, and it inspires you to give your best performance.”

Earlier, South African cricketer Faf du Plessis also announced his decision to play the PSL instead of the IPL.

The former England cricketer said he is looking forward to all these new experiences so he can create wonderful memories. “I am ready for a new and special journey, InshaAllah.”

It is worth mentioning that a few days ago, Faf du Plessis announced on social media that he would not participate in the IPL and had decided to take up a new challenge by playing in the Pakistan Super League.
