Alastair Cook has warned his teammates they 'can't afford any more mistakes' as they seek to rebuild their connection with the general public in the aftermath of the incident involving Ben Stokes. Cook said, 'The world's obviously changed for the England cricket team in September. And it's probably taken us a couple of months to really realise that. These last two incidents have probably proven that. I've seen the word trivial, a misdemeanour at best and a very low key thing but since obviously the Stokesy thing in September things have changed for the England cricket team. It's sad in one sense because, a bit different to football, we've always been able to go under the radar a bit and enjoy playing cricket for England and also enjoy seeing the country outside of that.'
