Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali had announced his decision to retire from English cricket at the end of 2025 however, he has reportedly reversed his retirement and signed a domestic contract with Yorkshire in the T20 Blast.
Cricketers have now taken the chance to feature in franchise cricket more often by announcing their retirement from international cricket. Many cricketers have announced early retirements in order to make themselves available for all franchise cricket leagues. Such players include Nicholas Pooran and Quinton de Kock.
However, another recent trend has marked players reversing their retirement to return to international cricket, like QDK recently did for South Africa. Moeen Ali had also previously reversed international retirement to return to English domestic cricket.
