Moeen Ali added to England squad

England all-rounder Moeen Ali will join up with the squad for their second Test against the West Indies after recovering from a side strain.

Moeen Ali has been passed fit to return to England's Test squad for their second and third matches against the West Indies later this month.

The all-rounder missed the opening match of the series, which is currently underway in Antigua, after suffering a side strain during the recent Cricket World Cup.

However, the ECB has confirmed that the 27-year-old has proved hit fitness after featuring in the county championship with Worcestershire this week, so will join up with the rest of the squad for the second and third Test from Saturday.

Ali has a batting average of 28.09 in his 20 Test appearances for England so far, and has picked up 22 wickets.
