England all-rounder Moeen Ali admitted that he is ‘loving every minute’ as an England player and says it is a ‘privilege’ to play in the World Cup. The 27-year-old also discusses his own form with bat and ball, warm-up matches in Sydney and his partnership at the top of the order with Ian Bell. Also he has been revealed as the cover star of this year’s Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack, the world famous sports book, whose 152nd edition would be released on 9 April this year.

Ali would replace retired Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar who graced the front of the 2014 edition, the Mirror reported. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: SCHEDULE & MATCH DETAILS
Some Twitter users responded to the news by claiming that the late Australian batsman Phillip Hughes should have been honoured on the cover. Hughes passed away at the end of November after being struck by a bouncer during a Sheffield Shield match. A tribute to Hughes is expected to have been included in the inside of the book, the report added, ANI reported. Check complete schedule of the warm-up matches here
