Moeen Ali’s father has hit out at the abuse directed towards the England all-rounder and labelled it “disgraceful”.

The Worcestershire cricketer was subjected to booing by some of the Indian support during England’s T20 win over them at Edgbaston on Sunday.

A complaint of racially motivated abuse from a member of the public has also led police to classify it as a “non-crime hate related incident”, various reports said.

Moeen’s father Munir believes the booing had racial undertones and insisted the Birmingham-born spinner should not have to contend with any abuse.

“We are very disappointed with what happened. It should have been a special day,” he toldESPNcricinfo.

“Moeen was playing for his country in the city of his birth. It is the city I was born in and the city my mother was born in. The whole family was looking forward to it and we thought he would receive a warm welcome.

“Instead he was abused from the start. He was abused because he is a Muslim and because of his Pakistan heritage. That is disgraceful.
