Alastair Cook’s Captaincy Not To Be Discussed In ECB Meeting

England Test skipper Alastair Cook’s meeting with England Cricket Board’s (ECB) director Andrew Strauss, to discuss about his future as the Test captain has been deferred until the completion of limited-overs series against India, which is scheduled from January 15.

The left-handed English opening batsman Cook, who is holding the cards close to his chest, has been their mainstay in Test cricket in the past 10 years.

Earlier, former England skipper Strauss had also discussed the recent hammering (in India) with the national team coach Trevor Bayliss and other officials from the staff through video conferencing followed by the future plans, which included previews for the upcoming fixtures in the longer format.

Since past four years, Cook, who has led England in 59 Tests, has been under severe criticism.

In 2012, Cook was appointed as the Test skipper in 2012. He was sacked as the ODI captain just before the ICC World Cup 2015.

So far, Cook has played 140 Tests for England in which he has amassed 11,057 runs at an average of 46.45.

The Gloucester-born has smashed 30 centuries and 53 half-centuries since he made his Test debut against India at Nagpur in March 2006.
