According to Cook, Kohli and Rohit were commanding presences that their actions and decisions were rarely, if never, disputed – regardless of performance.

“What I cannot work and I will obviously discover it is to take out these two really experienced players – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli – who were really a little on the shift, it is the impact they have in the locker room is now gone,” Cook pointed out.

“No matter how … When you get out of senior players like that, even if they are great leaders, they could be wrong, but nobody calls into question these two in this locker room. So now there is almost a clean slate.”The Kohli and Sharma test outings occurred last month, with the Border-Gavaskar trophy in Australia, which India lost 3 to 1, being their last outings in format. Kohli finished with 190 points at an average of 23.75, including a century in the opening test, while Rohit had a lean patch, managing only 31 points in five rounds.Cook admitted that, despite the absence of the two veterans, the depth of the stick of India remains formidable.

“One thing we know – they will be so talented. They could choose, I think, 18 drummers almost of the same quality now. And it will be really interesting to see if this talent, without these two – and I do not say that they should not be – can get up on occasion.”The new look of India under Gill faces the bazball assault on England in a series that should test their adaptability and temperament. The first test begins on Friday in Headingley, marking the beginning of the era of the Anderson – Tendulkar trophy, a tribute to two cricket legends and a symbolic transfer from one generation to another.
