Former English opening batsman Sir Alastair Cook was one of the greatest batsmen in international cricket history. Among the England batsmen, Cook is the only cricketer to score 10,000+ runs in Test career. He is the most run-scorer in international cricket as an England batsman.

From 2006 to 2014, Cook played 92 ODIs where the left-handed opening batsman scored 3,204 runs (average 36.40). He hit five centuries and 19 half-centuries in ODI career. However, his ODI career was not so sparkling like his long Test career.

Despite modest performances in ODI career, Sir Alastair Cook failed to make a debut in Cricket World Cup.
