<\/p>\nThen recalling his own experience in India, Moeen Ali said: \u201cIt was mad, obviously there were those attacks in Kashmir before everything really kicked off. Then within no time things just rapidly escalated and all of a sudden we\u2019re in the middle. It felt like we\u2019re in the middle of a war, but obviously we didn\u2019t hear anything (like missiles striking). All of a sudden you\u2019re just scrambling to get out of the country and just to make sure obviously your family\u2019s fine. People are worried about you back home and just to make sure they\u2019re at ease as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked what was going on with the players after the Punjab Kings<\/a> vs Delhi Capitals<\/a> game was suspended mid-way, with the league then getting suspended for a week, Moeen Ali said: \u201cPeople weren\u2019t quite sure what was happening and how things were like. I spoke to a lot of the guys. Some of the guys were like \u2018there won\u2019t be a war, everything will be fine. These things have happened before\u2019. Some guys were like, \u2018I think there\u2019ll be a war, I think there\u2019ll be some sort of retaliation or whatever you want to call it\u2019. There\u2019s so much lying going on, that it\u2019s hard to believe people \u2014 the news outlets in particular and the journalists. You don\u2019t know exactly what\u2019s going on, so that\u2019s the scary bit because you don\u2019t know what\u2019s exactly going on, you don\u2019t know where to stand, you don\u2019t know if things are going to kick off quickly. The thing that we were worried about is flights getting cancelled and we can\u2019t get out. But it must be so hard for the local players or the guys who are Pakistani or Indians stuck in there not knowing what\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n Moeen Ali, who has Pakistani roots, also spoke about his decision to leave even before the IPL<\/a> was postponed by a week. <\/p>\n
