LONDON: England all-rounder Moeen Ali has confirmed on Wednesday that he is leaving Worcestershire to return home county Warwickshire on a three-year deal.
Moeen, who began his career with Warwickshire, said, "I'm sad to be leaving Worcestershire after so long and have loved every minute of it. I've played with some amazing people and owe a huge thanks to the club for bringing me here and giving me the platform to perform."
Upon joining Warwickshire, Moeen said, "I'm delighted to return home to Edgbaston. I was born and raised just a few miles away from the stadium, with my life always centered around Birmingham. When the opportunity presented itself, it was a decision I couldn't say no to and I believe I have unfinished business at the Bears."
Moeen joined Worcestershire in September of 2006 and went on to play nearly 350 games across all formats, scoring over 13,000 runs, taking over 300 wickets, and winning three trophies in his time at New Road. IANS
