Alastair Cook insists that England players won't go on strike over cricket's packed programme but said the international schedule needs to be looked at.
Players in both Test and one-day squads had just three days at home from the start of the Ashes until their World Cup exit last month.
At the weekend the vice-captain was quoted as saying: "We can go on strike, which is not recommended."
Cook has now clarified this comments and said: "I didn't mean to use the word strike. There's nothing further from our minds as a team . . . but something has to change if we want to keep producing our best."
