He is the joint youngest batsman to score 10,000 or more runs in Test cricket,[2][5] and has scored the most Test runs as an opening batsman.[6] Cook was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2016 Birthday Honours.[7] In 2011, the International Cricket Council (ICC) selected him as their Test Player of the Year.[8] Wisden named him as one of their cricketers of the year in 2012.[9]

Cook made his Test debut against India at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground, Nagpur in 2006. He became the sixteenth English cricketer to score a century on Test debut when he scored 104 in the second innings.[10][11] His score of 294, against the same team at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham, in 2011, is the seventh highest total by an English batsman in Test cricket.[12] Cook has scored Test centuries at 24 cricket grounds, including 17 outside England.[13][14] He has scored centuries against all eight Test opponents the team has played and scored the most centuries (seven) against India. In May 2015, Cook became England's all-time leading run scorer in Tests, when he went past Graham Gooch's tally of 8900 runs. As of September 2018, he ranks equal tenth among players with most Test centuries,[15] and top of the equivalent list for England.[16] His 38 centuries across all formats is the highest by an English cricketer.
