England captain Alastair Cook said Wednesday he was well aware that his looming membership of the 10,000 Test -run club would be a significant landmark in an already successful career. The 31-year-old left-handed opener needs just 36 more runs to become the first Englishman -- and only 12th player overall -- to score 10,000 runs in Tests and he will hope to get there during this week's first Test against Sri Lanka at Headingley, which starts on Thursday. "It would mean a lot and hopefully I can get there sooner rather than later so we can talk about something else," said Cook, speaking at Headingley, Yorkshire's headquarters in Leeds, northern England, on Wednesday.
