• Cricket Australia investigating claim against unnamed player
Moeen Ali talked his England teammates out of pursuing an official complaint against the Australian cricketer who allegedly called him “Osama” during the 2015 Ashes, according to Trevor Bayliss.
The all-rounder’s forthcoming autobiography, which is being serialised in the Times, includes the startling allegation that he was subject to the on-field slur during the first Test in Cardiff three years ago and has prompted Cricket Australia to investigate.
