Getting England Test Captaincy Was Like Another Debut, Says Ollie Pope
England secured a five-wicket victory in the first Test against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford and lead three-match series 1-0. Pope got a win on becoming the 82nd player to captain England in men’s Tests but made just six runs twice.
"It is obviously different captaining for the first time. It is a fresh start but for me, it just has a slightly different feel the first time you do it. It is almost like that kind of debut feeling again. But at the same time, I really enjoyed the week," said Pope to reporters in the press conference.
