Now that you’ve become England’s highest Test run-scorer, what’s the next big milestone you’re aiming for?
I’ve never been one for milestones. I feel like you’re setting yourself up to fail if you have targets. For me, it’s more about how I can keep evolving as a player, as a batter, and senior leader within the group. How can I help some of the younger guys around me and help us really grow and develop as a team? If I’m doing that, then the rest will look after itself.
Is there a specific innings that felt the most special to you?
The first Test match against New Zealand at Lord’s. It was the first game I wasn’t captain - new coach, new way of playing. Start of Bazball if you like. We won the game. I hit the winning runs, managed to go past 10,000 runs. My family and kids were there. It was a nice way of paying back Ben for all the stuff he did for me when I was captain. Trying to get him off to a good start in this new era of cricket.
Since stepping down as Test captain, you’ve had some of the strongest performances of your career. How has your mindset changed to achieve this?
I think it’s the fact I’ve had those experiences as captain. The fact I can go back in as a batter now and just enjoy everything that that has to offer, working with the young batters around me, having a new coach to do it with - that’s been a big part of it. But ultimately, just becoming more senior and having a better understanding of my own game is one of the big things.
What keeps your passion for the game alive?
I always remember the feeling of being 10 years old and what I’d give to play for England. The amount of test matches me and my brother had in the garden. We’d try and emulate our heroes. Every opportunity I get from this point, I remember that feeling I had as a kid and will try to for the rest of my career.
