  1. Beating England at home in 5 Tests will be a huge effort, says Alastair Cook England Team have been going through a rough patch in recent times. They started the season well with an impressive series win in Sri Lanka and then went 1-0 up against India too.

Later, they lost 1-0 in a two-match Test series to New Zealand at home as well. However, they will soon take on India in a five-match Test series and former captain Alastair Cook has said that it wouldn’t be easy for India to beat them at home again. "Clearly it was disappointing. England have got themselves in a tough situation for the winter. It was going so well, winning in Sri Lanka and then they're 1-0 up against India," Cook told ESPNCricinfo."To then rest and rotate players, ever since that moment they've ended up chasing their tail - ending up with a fifth-choice wicketkeeper (James Bracey), an unbalanced side even though people were playing the (T20) Blast." "You've got a Test captain who hasn't been able to play his best side, yet we seem to be playing a full-strength side in the T20s against Sri Lanka. The decisions don't look like they've been made correctly. Of course, they're trying their best to make the right decisions for the right reasons, but when you're playing for England, you get judged on end results most of the time, so you'd have to say it hasn't worked," he further added. The experienced batsman again said that he felt sorry for Test captain Joe Root as he could not play with his best team against New Zealand at home where the first Test ended in a draw. Notably, the team didn’t have the service of some key players - Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali.
