Former England skipper Alastair Cook officially received the knighthood for his services to cricket by the Queen in an official ceremony at the Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. After the ceremony, the 34-year-old said that it is hard for him to get used to see his name with a 'sir before it'Âu00c2u009d.

"Seeing my name up there in whatever capacity - you just don't get used to it. You never get used to it and I don't think I will ever get used to seeing my name with a Sir before it," ESPNcricinfo quoted Cook, as saying.
