Worcestershire all-rounder reflects on his OBE for services to cricket and hints at a possible Test comeback with England
Junk mail folders tend to be littered with marketing gumph and the like but after a gentle nudge from his county, Worcestershire, Moeen Ali recently clicked on the relevant tab in his email account to discover he was being awarded an OBE for services to cricket.
