Former England captain Alastair Cook expressed concerns about England’s batting performance in the first ODI against West Indies, highlighting a lack of experience and adaptability on a challenging pitch. Cook believes the team’s reliance on T20 cricket has hindered their ability to adjust to traditional ODI conditions.
Joe Root achieved a historic milestone on the third day of the second Test between England and Sri Lanka at Lord’s. He scored his 34th Test century, surpassing Alastair Cook to become England’s highest century-maker in the format. Root also holds the record for the most Test runs scored on English soil and has the most Test hundreds at Lord’s. This century marks his 50th hundred in international cricket, placing him among an elite group of batters.
