Getting England Test Captaincy Was Like Another Debut, Says Ollie Pope
Getting England Test: Ollie Pope, England’s stand-in captain for the Test series against Sri Lanka, said being the side’s captain for the first time at Manchester brought back that feeling of making debut again. But at the same time, he added about aiming to improve his batting returns ahead of the second Test against Sri Lanka at Lord’s.
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.
