(Reuters) – England captain Alastair Cook said he will carry on as England one-day captain despite the latest humiliating defeat at the hands of India and with the World Cup just five months away.
“I’m still hungry to do it. If the management say they don’t want me, that’s a decision they make, 29-year-old Cook told BBC radio.
“The frustrating thing is that every side I seem to play in for England, there’s a question about my place. That’s a hard place to work from.”
Tuesday’s nine-wicket hammering at Edgbaston was the latest of three heavy defeats and gave India the series win. Ex-players such as Graeme Swann are calling for him to step down as one-day skipper.
Cook’s position as test captain came under scrutiny when India took a 1-0 lead in the test series earlier in the summer, only for England to complete a 3-1 victory.
