England players head to Dubai after Mohali Test defeat

Mohali: With the England players wary after two Test defeats, they will be flying off to Dubai for a break as the next Test match will start from December 8 in Mumbai.

About the team flying off to Dubai, Cook said that they needed a break.

"The break has come at a very good time, obviously three back to back Test matches. I don't think we have to play four in a row but you never know. We have this week off and I think, most people are going to Dubai, mentally it will be a break from cricket. We come back little bit more refreshed.

"The challenge is try and put in that performance which consistently over five days we play well. We have done that in one game, we haven't done it in other two," added Cook as he reflected on his team's performance against the Virat Kohli-led Indian side.
