With one ball left of the World Cup final, England needed five runs
to win. Mo stood in the middle of the pitch as Jos Buttler
whispered in his ear: "If anyone can do it, it's you." Mo shook his
head modestly and wandered back to the stumps. He tapped his bat
twice on the ground and watched as Pat Cummins sprinted in: it was
going to be a bouncer, he knew it would be a bouncer... "Mo Akeel."
Mo snapped back to reality. "Are you listening?" Ah. School. He
nodded his head at Miss Joseph and tried to look interested. He
glanced at the board and narrowed his eyes. Trigonometry. On a
Friday. Some teachers had a very weird sense of humour. Thus starts
the story of an ordinary Birmingham schoolkid in modern Britain.
The story focuses on many of the themes prevalent in today's
society - religion, racism, bullying, equality and diversity. Told
with real passion and skill, it will be an inspiration for a
generation of young schoolchildren as they make their way in the
world.
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.
