Shortlisted for The Telegraph's Sports Book Awards - Autobiography
of the Year, 2019 Longlisted for the Specsavers National Book
Awards 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
backyard cricket to the county game and his first-class debut as a
teenager, through to his international debut at the relatively late
age of 27 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 eighteen 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.
