Moeen Ali wins Asian Cricket award

Moeen Ali beats off competition from the likes of Ravi Bopara to win the Player of the Year accolade at the Asian Cricket Awards.

England all-rounder Moeen Ali was named the Player of the Year at the inaugural Asian Cricket Awards last night.

The accolade, which he collected at Lord's, rounded off a positive year for the 27-year-old, who made his international debut in all three formats of the game.

"It doesn't get any better than this. I feel very proud and privileged to be here. It's a fantastic achievement for the Asian Cricket Awards to be at the home of cricket," he said.

"I've had a great year. It's been fantastic, I've loved and cherished every minute of it. Hopefully I can keep it up for a few more years. I felt honoured to be in the top four for this award, and I am very proud to be the first guy to win the Asian Cricket Awards Player of the Year."

Varun Chopra, Ravi Bopara and Adil Rashid were also nominated for the award.
