Flying the flag for shooting sports, international cricketer Alastair Cook MBE has been spotted deer stalking in East Anglia recently.

A self-confessed country boy, Alastair enjoys working on his father-in-law’s farm and shooting on his days off from the game.

Alastair said: “Deer stalking is a release from cricket and I love being in the outdoors. I’m proud to be a member of the UK hunting community and I’m keen to learn the effects of deer management through my guide Alex Hinkins of Wings Hunting & Shooting.”

“We had a fantastic trip to Norfolk and I’m already looking forward to my next outing.”
