Jordan Cox Reflects on Virat Kohli's Advice Ahead of Pakistan Test Series

Jordan Cox is set to make his mark in the upcoming Test series against Pakistan, having received memorable advice from Indian cricket star Virat Kohli. Cox, who debuted for England against New Zealand in June, is now stepping into a new role due to the injury of Jacob Bethell.

Having played alongside Kohli in the Indian Premier League with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Cox met Kohli before his Test debut and was encouraged to enjoy the moment and honor the support of his family and friends. With Bethell sidelined, Cox will bat at number three in the first two Tests of the series.

Cox expressed gratitude for Kohli's mentorship, recalling a previous disappointment when he missed a Test opportunity in 2024 due to injury. He noted Kohli's perspective on handling pressure and maintaining a positive attitude off the field. As England prepares for the series, they aim to improve their record against Pakistan, who have not won a series in England for three decades.
