The 27-year-old became the first player in the country last week to take 50 wickets in the County Championship.

Despite his impressive form, Ali has been overlooked prompting him to demand: "What more do I have to do to get picked?

"It's disappointing that I have not made the main squads. I feel that I am good enough."



Kabir has a strike rate of one wicket every 31 balls in 2008 but has only been rewarded with a place in the England Lions squad for two one-day games with South Africa on 14-16 August.

"I think I have been playing well in the County Championship, the Pro40 League and in the Twenty20 Cup and I deserve a little bit more than this.

"But beggars can't be choosers and if I keep going who knows?



"I have to make the most of this chance and hopefully show the selectors what I can do."

Meanwhile, Worcestershire have extended the deadline for in-form opener Stephen Moore to make a decision on his future.

Five counties have given 28-days notice of approach to speak to Moore, including Sussex and Essex.

Moore became the first player in the country to score 1,000 county runs in 2008 last week.
