Play all audios:

Cook, who will surpass Michael Atherton's England record of 54 matches as test skipper after the first match in India, replaced Andrew Strauss as skipper in 2012. He has led England to


24 tests victories, including a 2-1 series win over India on the subcontinent in 2012. Cook, who has scored 10,688 runs at an average of just below 47 in 135 tests, with 29 centuries, said


he would keep on playing for the foreseeable future. "I do look forward to the day when hopefully I can play a test match as just a batter, there's no doubt about that," the


left-handed opening batsman added. "If that happens, I'm going to really enjoy standing at first slip and being the bloke who makes suggestions to whoever's in charge and not


being the bloke who has to make the final decision."
