World is moving at a fast pace for England all-rounder Moeen Ali. From not being in the Test squad for the first match at Nottingham to being named as the vice-captain of the England side for the fourth Test match at The Oval in London, Moeen has climbed up the ladder at a fast pace in a matter of weeks.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Wednesday, announced that Moeen Ali will be Joe Root's deputy in the fourth Test against India which begins from Thursday.
"All-rounder Moeen Ali has been named as England Test vice-captain for the fourth Test match against India at the Kia Oval starting on Thursday," ECB said in a statement.
