England all-rounder Moeen Ali prioritizes playing for his country over his club and has decided to opt out of the Pakistan Super League to focus on the upcoming cricket tour in Bangladesh.

Despite a busy schedule of 36 cricket games across various formats, the England white-ball vice-captain is determined to prepare for the crucial tour, which includes three ODIs and three T20s.

With the 50-over World Cup as a top priority, Ali seeks to recharge with some time at home before rejoining the England team. 

Participating in the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) and Bangladesh tours, followed by the Indian Premier League, would pose a risk of burnout for the all-rounder.
