“The objectives that I have is to try and aid the players in having increased awareness towards fielding and set a high standard of excellence,” Cook explained.
Cook and Conrad have developed a good working relationship and the 31-year-old is eager to rekindle it.

Cook will join the team for a 10-day training camp on 14 May before they jet off to England.
