Piers Morgan Apologizes to Sir Alastair Cook, Ending Decade-Long Feud

Morgan said his attacks followed frustration over Kevin Pietersen’s 2013 dismissal.

Overview

  • The apology came during The Overlap’s Stick to Cricket show, where the pair appeared together.
  • Morgan acknowledged he went over the top on social media and told Cook, “I’m sorry for the 38 weasel references.”
  • His criticism dates to a post calling Cook a “repulsive little weasel” after England ended Pietersen’s international career.
  • The broadcaster had previously vowed that hell would freeze over before he apologized to Cook or Andrew Strauss, a stance he reversed on air.
  • Reports described the exchange as a reconciliation that closes a long-running public rift.
