Essex have been starved of success in recent years, with their last major trophies coming in the Friends Provident 50-over format and Division Two of the Pro40 in 2008.They've been very good to me and I'm looking forward to playing with the lads again. I'm going to miss the first couple of games but hopefully we can get up and running quickly. His captaincy, which began last summer following Andrew Strauss's retirement, started brightly with a series win in India. But the Chelmsford club are eager to regain their top-flight status after spending the past two seasons in Division Two.Cook has scored 7,307 Test runs since making his international debut in 2006, putting him ninth in the country's all-time batting list.And while Cook will be unavailable for the opening two first-class fixtures, he is hopeful of featuring against Hampshire and Lancashire in the early part of the season.
