Ally was born in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) to Pakistani parents. He grew up in Kenya, Botswana, Tanzania, and Pakistan. According to Ally, his father was "involved in trade between African countries — textiles and things of that sort", and hence his parents spent three decades living and moving across southern and eastern Africa.
Ally graduated from the International School of Tanganyika in 2000, where he was part of the school's cricket team, nicknamed "Msenge Wa Duniya" for his bowling.
