Captain and all-time caps leader hinted this India series may be his last but director of cricket Andrew Strauss senses he'll carry on and help youngsters throughAlastair Cook announced his resignation as England’s Test captain on Monday. The decision was announced at the ECB twitter handle. Cook reportedly discussed the decision with ECB Chairman Colin Graves on Sunday before expressing his commitment to playing Test cricket for the country to Director of England cricket Andrew Strauss.
Cook is England’s most capped Test captain and is regarded as one of the greatest and the most prolific batsman ever to play for the country. He led England to their first Test victory in India in more than two decades. He also holds the record for the most Test centuries scored by an England player. He also became the youngest player to score more than 7000 Test runs.
But his captaincy had come under the scanner recently for England’s poor showing against Bangladesh and their capitulation against India.
