HIGHLIGHTS
- Moeen Ali is yet to secure his VISA to play in the IPL 2022
- The England international is likely to miss CSK’s opening game against KKR
- Moeen Ali played a key role in CSK’s title win last year
England all-rounder Moeen Ali is yet to receive his India visa for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and may miss Chennai Super Kings’ tournament opener against Kolkata Knight Riders. Moeen scored 357 runs from 15 innings for CSK in the IPL last year, while also accounting for six wickets from 15 games with his off-spin bowling.
The Super Kings may feel the pinch in their first match, considering Moeen’s off-spin would have been handy against Knight Riders’ trio of left-handers: Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana and Sunil Narine.
CSK, four-time IPL champions, will take on last edition’s runner-up side Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening match of IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. ”It is learned that Moeen needs to arrive in Mumbai by Wednesday to stand a chance of playing his team’s first match against 2021 runners-up Knight Riders,” a report in ‘ESPNcricinfo’ stated.
”Considering that Moeen would need to undergo the mandatory three-day quarantine to enter the IPL bio-secure environment, Super Kings’ management has accepted that the chances of him playing the opening match appear remote,” the report added. The report further states that if Moeen fails to arrive on time, New Zealand batter Devon Conway is likely to make his IPL debut. ”The Super Kings will likely feel the pinch in their first match, considering Moeen’s off-spin would have been handy against Knight Riders’ trio of left-handers: Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, and Sunil Narine,” it read.
Because of his fine all-round show which helped the team lift its fourth IPL title, Moeen was retained by CSK alongside inspirational captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja and Ruturaj Gaikwad.
