ALASTAIR COOK fears that captaincy will destr oy his good looks. The England skipper

, 28, believes the str ess of leading his side will turn his barnet gr

ey one day – but not before the end of

the summer. He said: “I don’t think I will

lose my hair but I’m pretty sure

I will go grey. But hopefully not by the end of the Ashes.”

Cook admits he is still taking words of wisdom fr om old pal Andrew Strauss, who he took

the captaincy reins from.

He added: “I’m good friends with Andrew Strauss so it would be silly not to tap into that. “Probably the biggest advice

do he gave was to make sure you it your own way and be your own man.”
