5 veteran cricketers who have set the County stage on fire

Alastair Cook

Former England skipper Alistair Cook continues to score big in county Cricket

The highest run-scorer for England in Test Cricket, Alastair Cook was in great nick during his stint in county cricket this season. The former England captain was at his best as he scored heaps of runs for Essex.

For someone of his class facing bowlers from domestic level might be less challenging but Cook took nothing lightly and put in efforts to do his best and the Essex surely benefited from his stay.

One of the most consistent batsman of this era, Cook was the 8th leading run-scorer of the Championship with 667 runs in just 10 outings.

The southpaw was the key for Essex along with Tom Westley, another promising prospect for England. The duo scored crucial runs for the side all through the tournament.
