He believed that people like Michael Vaughan should extend their support to Muslims and individuals from various faiths, highlighting the need for inclusivity and unity.
Quoted by ESPN Cricinfo, Moeen Ali stated, “People like him should support Muslims and the common man from other faiths as well. I think he knows times are changing, and he also needs to change as a human.”
