Alastair Cook
Alastair Cook says he won't remained down as England one-day commander regardless of their arrangement vanquish by India. 

Tuesday's nine-wicket misfortune was the most recent of three overwhelming annihilations just five prior months the World Cup, while ex-players, for example, Graeme Swann fondle Cook ought to give the one-day diversion.

"The inlet between the sides is an outright gorge right now and England need to have a root-and-limb survey of their arrangements for the World Cup. Alastair Cook's position as commander ought to be high on the motivation. The selectors must acknowledge that there is an extremely solid contention for standing him down from the one-day group." 

Cook's position as Test commander went under examination when India took a 1-0 lead in the Test arrangement prior in the mid year, just for England to finish a 3-1 triumph. 

"The baffling thing is that, each side I appear to play in for England, there's an inquiry regarding my spot," included opening batsman Cook. "That is a hard place to work from. 

"I went from 1-0 down to 3-1. It changes rapidly in game. My believability is not for me to remark on." 

Cook assumed responsibility of the one-day global side in 2011, heading England to the highest point of the ODI world rankings in 2012.

"I know I need to score more runs," said Cook. "I've done that in the past and I will later on. 

"I've had three-and-a-half years of one-day captaincy experience. We've done some decent stuff in that time, yet we're having an overwhelming blip right now." 

The most recent overwhelming thrashing by India came after the hosts were bowled out for just 206 at Edgbaston, with the vacationers pursuing down their focus with 117 balls to extra.

"We haven't played exceptionally well, no place close to our potential," said Cook. "That is the most disappointing thing. The players need to take a gander at themselves and turn it around. 

"The fellows are ravenous to succeed, we're simply not conveying right now. In the event that anybody thinks their spot is sheltered, then they are incorrect."
