Moeen Ali is a prospect-and-a-half. Signed to Warwickshire at the tender age of 15, he was awarded the captaincy of the England Under-19 team for the World Cup in 2006 after apparently growing up overnight."I've never seen anyone change so fast," said his shocked coach Andy Pick - who instantly elevated him to the leader's role. Ali took his team to the semi-final; not bad going as they had entered the tournament on the back of an 11-0 drubbing in Bangladesh.
A talented and explosive batsman, he blasted a century in 56 balls against Sri Lanka in a Test in 2005, and once smashed 195 not out in a Twenty20 match for his under-15 club side Moseley Ashfield. He represented England at U-15 and U-16 level, and won the Denis Compton medal two years in succession. His useful offspinners make him a formidable allrounder.
Ali has a good pedigree to boot - his brother, Kadeer, plays at Gloucestershire and their cousin, Kabir, of Worcestershire is a regular member of England's one-day squad. Both act as Moeen's mentors, as does Mohammad Sheikh at Derbyshire. And in September 2006, he moved from Warwickshire to join his cousin at New Road.
