NEW DELHI: England faced a crushing defeat by an innings and 64 runs in the culmination of the five-match series in Dharamsala on Saturday, marking a disappointing end to their tour of India. Despite showcasing some resilience in earlier Tests, Ben Stokes' side faltered in the final match, drawing criticism from former cricketers.
Former England cricketer Alastair Cook came to the defense of the team, emphasizing the human aspect of the game. "They're not robots," Cook remarked, acknowledging the challenges faced by players during extended tours. Cook, who led England to victory in India in 2012, highlighted the mental and physical toll of such demanding tours.
