Steve Harmison says “He’s in prime confidence at this moment” in T20 World Cup 2021. He stated Moeen Ali’s recent purple patch. He was open to the idea of him being promoted up the order. Calls for the all-rounder’s batting position have been the talk of the town. Ever since his stellar set of cameos for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Moeen walked out to bat at No.4 against the West Indies. But it remains uncertain whether that will be his position. It is for the entire competition. In case he will be used as a floater with Dawid Malan. Moreover, apparently playing at No.3, the spot for No.4 comes down to a toss-up. Between Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow.
Harmison mentioned how England could potentially capitalize. On Ali’s recent form by promoting him up the order. However, he admitted that it would be a difficult proposition. Also, considering England’s top-order strength. Harmison mentioned how England could potentially capitalize. On Ali’s recent form by promoting him up the order.

“He’s in prime confidence at this moment after the IPL win. He bowled beautifully the other night, took a great catch. I actually think England would benefit from having Moeen Ali bat higher up the order, but where he fits in, it’s difficult because England has got riches in that top 6,” Harmison said.
Shahriar Nafees has expressed a doubt. Over the prospect of Ali being promoted given England’s assets. At the top of the arrangement. Moeen was deployed at No.3 despite Raina being in the CSK squad. But as the competition advanced, he was exchanged to No.4 with his position being vacant for Thappa.
“Lastly, if you look at England’s top order batting, it’s a very strong top order. In some matches, Moeen Ali can be used, but not sure whether it would be a regular call,” Nafees said.
