MOEEN Ali is among 17 members of England’s one-day international squad in the IPL auction in Bangalore this weekend.
The Worcestershire all-rounder helped England take a winning 3-0 lead against Australia in the ODI series Down Under.
Moeen put himself forward two years ago for the IPL auction but withdrew because of ECB concerns over his workload as a player involved in all three formats with England.
Then 12 months ago he pulled out of the Pakistan Super League T20 for Quetta Gladiators and instead linked up with members of his family on a pilgrimage to Mecca.
Moeen has played in 22 T20Is for England but his last appearance was nearly 12 months ago in India.
Twenty-four English players are part of the final auction pool including former County loan player Alex Hales, Ben Stokes, Jason Roy, Chris Woakes, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow.
