ODI series against India will be big test for England, feels Alastair Cook

England captain Alastair Cook has urged his one-day team to follow the lead of England's Test squad and seal a historic win in India.

The first match of five begins in Rajkot on Friday morning with the tourists aiming to secure only a second ever 50-over series victory on Indian soil.

The skipper feels it will be a big real test for the English side. India will be playing against England in the five-match ODI series starting on January 11.
