Piers morgan

The Overlap Cricket: Piers Morgan has issued a sincere apology to former England captain Alastair Cook 11 years after calling him a ‘weasel’. The broadcaster often criticised the former England cricketer during his time as the team’s leader.

He alleged that Cook played a part in Kevin Pietersen’s exile from international cricket in 2013. Writing on social media at the time, he had said: “As for you, Alastair Cook - what a repulsive little weasel you've turned out to be. Aside from the worst-ever Ashes tour captain.”

Ever since, Morgan has stood firm, asserting that “hell would freeze over” if he’d apologise to Cook and Andrew Strauss, England’s former director of cricket, for his criticism.
