India v England: one-day series victory will prove we are No 1, says Alastair Cook Cook, however, is correct in asserting that the best players must aim to thrive on all pitches. "Conditions are different but I think good players will be able to adapt to any conditions thrown at them," he said. Yes, the style of cricket is different, probably the make-up of the team and selection will be different because of that, but as a test of a player under high pressure against good opposition this will be tough and it will show people what these guys are made of. That said, there is clearly a focus upon the Champions Trophy, in which England will compete with Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka for two semi-final spots. "It's a very important trophy," said Cook. So, as a group of players, we've got an opportunity at home, in our conditions, which we're very comfortable in, to try win that. It's a very high on my shopping list. Jonathan Trott, Graeme Swann and James Anderson have been rested for this tour, while Stuart Broad will arrive later and Jonny Bairstow is at home attending to a family illness. There are opportunities aplenty for those out here. "I think it's a chance that if people perform well and they've got the shirt at the moment then that's what you want," said Cook. You want competition and people pushing hard to put the people who are in the team now out. Cook was asked if this meant that any of the rested players could miss out on the Champions Trophy. "I'm not saying that at all," he countered. I'm just saying that if people on this tour perform really well, then it's really hard to leave out a player who has done really well. Still, a line-up of Cook himself, Ian Bell, Kevin Pietersen, Trott, Eoin Morgan, Craig Kieswetter, Tim Bresnan, Broad, Swann, Anderson and Steven Finn would appear to be the obvious selection for that Champions Trophy come the summer. Meanwhile the series match referee, Andy Pycroft, has confirmed that the fifth ODI will take place in Dharamasala, despite concerns about the cold weather and fog there.
