Joe Root will contact Moeen Ali in the next fortnight to establish whether the all-rounder feels ready to make a return to Test cricket when England tour South Africa next month.
Moeen, 32, announced he was taking a break from the longer format in September, having been dropped from the first XI after an undercooked showing in the Ashes series opener at Edgbaston and then left off the list of Test central contracts for 2019-20.
