“I like to see the kids in my area wearing England shirts, not Pakistan...” — Moeen Ali Quote

I like to see the kids in my area wearing England shirts, not Pakistan or India ones. A lot of it comes from the older generations but it's changing slowly, especially if people like myself and Ravi Bopara are playing for England.

If I can play, and change the mind of one person about being a Muslim player and having a beard, then I'll feel as if I've done my job.

I talk quite a lot in the changing room, try and joke around, keep the energy going, try to lift guys if they are struggling, even if I am struggling.

It's always nice to get a call-up when in decent nick as you can have that confidence coming into the game. It's what county cricket should do.

The Rock now the hottest thing. He come from wrestling background. Father, mother, grandfather all from wrestling business: 2-3 generations. I watch his movie. He great movie star, and I be wrestling with his father Rocky Johnson. I love them.

Music can be new to you but not new right now. It can be really fun to ask people of different generations what they used to go see.

I loved 'Star Wars' as a kid, but I missed out on the experiences of seeing them for the first time. It was before my time, and 'Lord of the Rings,' that trilogy felt like something similar to what 'Star Wars' was for previous generations.

The energy from younger generations is amazing, they go crazy.
