England all-rounder Moeen Ali has retired from Test cricket.

The 34-year-old, who made 64 Test appearances after making his debut in 2014, leaves the game's longest format with 2,916 runs and 195 wickets.

Ali, who is part of England's squad for the T20 World Cup later this month, intends to continue playing limited-overs cricket at both international and domestic level.

"I'm 34 now and I want to play for as long as I can and I just want to enjoy my cricket," Ali said in a statement released by the ECB.

"I've enjoyed Test cricket but that intensity can be too much sometimes and I feel like I've done enough of it and I'm happy and content with how I've done."
