NEW DELHI: Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali recently announced his retirement from international cricket. Moeen, who played his last match for England in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, decided to retire on Sunday.Following Moeen's retirement, he expressed confidence in the impact Brendon McCullum will have on Jos Buttler. Moeen Ali said, Brendon McCullum will help Jos Buttler bring out the best in himself.Phil Salt will captain the England team in the upcoming T20I series against Australia. Regular captain Jos Buttler is unable to participate due to a calf injury. "I think Brendon, it helps the fact he has been there, done it, and the way he played. I think it can be quite difficult if a coach says 'go do this', but they never did. Brendon brings that sort of energy and I think it will be great for Jos more than anything," Moeen was quoted by Sky Sports as per ANI.Moeen Ali shared his thoughts on the challenges faced by Jos Buttler and believes that the appointment of Brendon McCullum as white ball head coach could alleviate some of the pressure on the captain's shoulders."Jos has so much on his plate with batting, wicketkeeping, captaining. I think Brendon will just take the pressure off and he can just play and captain on the field. Brendon will be more in control I think," he added.The upcoming series between England and Australia will feature three T20I matches, followed by a five-match ODI contest.
