Episode 409: Moeen Ali

FAISAL & SAM
About this episode

FG Tribe: https://fgtribe.com

England legend and World Cup-winning all-rounder Moeen Ali sits down with us one year after retiring from international cricket.

We go deep on motivation after retirement, training for franchise leagues, why he still works harder at 38, and how he balances love of the game with staying present for family.

Mo opens up on legacy, fame (and why he avoids it), starting his own podcast Beard Before Wicket, and what he wants to pass on as a potential future England coach.

We also talk parenting, screen addiction in kids, padel obsession, Liverpool's rough patch, India–Pakistan cricket dynamics, and being proudly Muslim and British in a tense moment for the UK.
