Ian Botham believes England captain Alastair Cook could play for five or six more years and challenge Sachin Tendulkars all-time Test run record. Cook, 31, became the youngest player to pass the 10,000-run mark in Englands nine-wicket victory over Sri Lanka at Durham.He still has some way to go before Tendulkars record of 15,921 runs comes into sight. Watch Cook become the first Englishman to reach 10,000 Test runs However, Botham said on Sky Sports: I think hes got a lot more runs to come yet, this is just a milestone for him. Hes 31, hes got lots of time to go. In five years, he could be chasing Sachin. Who knows?He is fit enough, strong enough, and we know how mentally tough he is. He could play for five or six more years easily. Its down to him. Its how long he wants to play for.Cook is the 12th player in history to pass 10,000 runs, and only the second opener. This is just a milestone for him. Hes 31, hes got lots of time to go. In five years, he could be chasing Sachin. Who knows? Ian Botham He is also the first Englishman to reach the mark, and Botham thinks he has been helped by his interests away from cricket.He has a young family, his farming, he enjoys country pursuits, he is quite happy to go off on his own. I think that is important, Botham said. It gives you time away from the game and you need that, you cannot do cricket 24/7.Botham also believes Cook has benefited from not playing any one-day cricket in the last few years. Cook says it was a very special moment as he reached the 10,000-run milestone His last one-day international was against Sri Lanka in December 2014, and Botham said: His best Test cricket has been when he has not been playing one-day cricket.He is so disciplined and it means he doesnt get caught between the two games. The best thing that happened to him was getting away from the one-day game.
