5 reasons why Alastair Cook stepping down was a good move

#5 Shake up the dressing room atmosphere

It’s time to look beyond Cook

The England team have been going through a bit of a rut, with a string of failures. If consecutive failures pile on, it will most definitely take a toll on the morale of the team. A change at the helm could bring about a refreshed and renewed take on the game, and this English side are badly in need of this.

What can break a bad momentum is a positive deviation and a change at this junction could be the ideal solution. This new age team is comprised of young aggressive players, and they can feed off knowing a change is approaching. They will be motivated to be part of the change and will be driven to outdo their past performances.

The limited overs side has turned it around after the World Cup exit, and the Test team could also follow suit. Alastair Cook has served England as captain with great integrity, but it’s time to look beyond Cook and take a new direction.
