'Glad They Got Out': Moeen Ali About His Parents' Close Call In PoK As India Struck Terror Camps
Pakistan Occupied Kashmir: Former England cricketer and Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Moeen Ali has opened up about the volatile mix of war-like tension and professional uncertainty that gripped overseas players at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 in the aftermath of India's military retaliation—Operation Sindoor—against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Moeen Ali last played for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on May 7 at Eden Gardens. The 37-year-old reminisced about the tense conversations he had with both overseas and Indian players following the abrupt suspension of the game between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. The match was called off midway as a safety measure amid Pakistan’s attempted strikes on Indian airbases and urban centres.
In a conversation on the Beard Before Wicket podcast, Moeen shed light on the collective anxiety that rocked foreign players in the IPL as they faced an unprecedented crossroads: career versus safety.
