Might be wrong, but was Cook to Leicester not announced the day after the incident in the Edinburgh Poole match, meaning it had all been agreed before that when he was really on form.
Such a pity. Had the incident not happened, and Cook’s form continued, there’s no doubt he’d be chipping in with good points.
I understand he can still declare himself unfit but perhaps he didn’t want to let people down and was desperate to do well and make a living for his young family.
Do sympathise with Leicester fans, though.
