• All-rounder struggled in
World Cup and Ashes• Jofra Archer is handed multi-format deal
Moeen Ali believes a short break from competing for a Test spot could result in a strong comeback down the line after the all-rounder lost his
England contract in the longest format.
Ashley Giles, the director of England cricket, revealed on Friday that Moeen has requested a spell away from Test contention and he will now miss that part of the
New Zealand tour, the squads for which are named on Monday.
