He has played 68 Test matches, 138 ODI matches and 92 T20Is for England, scoring 6678 runs, and 366 wickets across all formats. He also won the 2019 ODI World Cup and the 2022 T20 World Cup with England. Moeen talked about the appointment of Brendon McCullum as white-ball coach and said that Brendon will help Jos Buttler more than anything as England’s white-ball captain has so much on his plate. “I think Brendon just brings, 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” said Moeen to Daily Mail. “Brendon brings that sort of energy and I think it will be great for Jos more than anything. Jos has so much on his plate with batting, keeping, and 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.
