Alastair Cook has been rewarded for his stunning efforts during England's Ashes win by being afforded the freedom of the City of London.

Cook racked up a stunning 766 runs in the series at an average of 120 - including three centuries - as England retained the urn in dominant style.

The Es+++ batsman has been overlooked for the ODI and T20 sides, but he has not been forgotten and has been handed the honour of the freedom of the City of London.

Cook, who will receive the accolade at a ceremony later this year, said: "I am greatly honoured and privileged to be given the Freedom of London for doing something I love ... beating the Aussies.

"I would like to thank all those involved with this decision."
