Ali And Parry Called Into England Tour Party - chairman - 02-06-2014
Worcestershire's Moeen Ali and Lancashire's Stephen Parry have been included in the England squad to tour the West Indies and for the ICC World Twenty20 tournament in Bangladesh.
Ali, a batsman who also bowls off-spin, and left-arm spinner Parry are the only uncapped players in the ICC World Twenty20 squad while Nottinghamshire's left-arm fast bowler Harry Gurney is selected for his first full England squad for the Caribbean matches.

It's not the elegant batting you notice first with Moeen Ali.
It's not the ever-improving offspin, either.
Or the reliable slip catching.
It's the beard. :-[

With his long beard - it has been compared to both Hashim Amla and WG Grace -
Moeen has become almost as recognisable a feature at New Road :
as the chestnut trees and the tower of the cathedral. 8)
