Moeen is expected to return to the side after three matches out of the team.
Moeen Ali believes former England coach Chris Silverwood will be keen to “prove a point” with his Sri Lanka side in Thursday’s World Cup clash in Bengaluru.
England have already been bested by one of their own in India, with former batter Jonathan Trott guiding Afghanistan to a shock win in Delhi, and are aware of the extra layer of intrigue created by Silverwood’s appearance in the opposition dugout.“They’ve only won once, so they’ll want to get on a winning run as well and he’ll be thinking more about that and his own team.
Moeen is heading into the game with some some additional motivation of his own, having been confined to a watching brief since the opening match of the tournament. “It’s been very frustrating, obviously, because you want to play and make some sort of difference,” he said of his stint on the bench.
