10-20 years from now, when you say one of your favourite Test players was someone who averaged 28 with bat & 37 with ball, people might not understand.
You could explain differing roles, and what he meant to many different people, but in the end you'll know. You had to be there.
We probably won't get to see him feature in Test cricket again, and boy has Moeen Ali had a unique career in whites, to say the least.

It's telling that the ICC will take the time to rule on this, while ignoring the plight of the Afghanistan women's team, and having their eye so far off the ball that non-existent women's matches in France were being "played" to secure ICC funding.
Under new rules announced by the ICC, any player who has transitioned from male to female and has been through any form of male puberty will not be allowed to participate in women's international cricket
