Alastair Cook says James Taylors tragic retirement can leave a legacy that could help protect players in the future. Benson Mayowa Jersey . Taylor was forced to quit cricket on Tuesday after scans revealed the 26-year-old is suffering from a serious heart condition and must have surgery in the coming days. Taylor was in line to take his place in the England Test side to face Sri Lanka in May after impressing on the successful tour of South Africa over the winter and Test skipper Cook admitted he was numb when he was told the news by England team director Andrew Strauss. James Taylor would have played for England against Sri Lanka next month He was just starting to do what hes done his whole life and prove people wrong, Cook told Sky Sports News HQ. He would have played the first Test against Sri Lanka and that gutsy character is what English cricket needs. Its taken the whole cricket world by shock. This week you remember you cant take your health for granted. My thoughts are with James and his family. A career robbed short like that is a tragic waste but on the flip side at least it was spotted and hes still with us. Dr Steven Cox explains why heart problems in sportsmen and women arent always identified early enough Weve had heart scans. Can we do more? Of course. Its another checkpoint for the ECB to make sure everything is in place. Will it be a wake up call to make sure we can do more and spend more money to make sure players are looked after? Of course.One of the legacies that James could leave might be to protect a number of other players.Fellow England player Jonny Bairstow, who has played with or against Taylor since they were under-13s and was a room-mate on tour with England, added his support.Everyones absolutely distraught for James. Its not something that anyones taking lightly and we wish him all the best, obviously with his operation first and then a speedy recovery.I spoke to him and hes a tough chap but its such a major thing and its going to take a little bit of time to sink in.Yesterday I was pretty shell-shocked [for him]. Now, weve got to help him through it as best we can.

With 22 games left and just over a week till they play again, coach Paul Maurice says he wants to get started right away sharpening defensive neutral zone play and forechecking without the puck. "Our sole focus is trying to find ways that we can be more aggressive with it," he said. The Jets were still minus their four Olympians -- forwards Olli Jokinen, Blake Wheeler and Michael Frolik, plus No. 1 netminder Ondrej Pavelec remain in Sochi -- but they made up for that with a healthy Evander Kane, Jim Slater and Matt Halischuk, all back from the injury list. Slater was out the longest after sports hernia surgery in Montreal. The centre and one of the teams faceoff leaders last played Oct. 18 but he says he now feels strong and ready to compete. Its a far different team than the one he left, with the Jets on a roll since Maurice took over from Claude Noel. They now sit just two points out of that coveted playoff spot. Slater says its always tough to be on the sidelines when a new coach comes in. "The slates wiped clean and when you cant get out there and play and show him what youve got, its definitely tough, you dont know where you fit in," he said. But Maurice helped to set his mind at ease. "Ive played against Paul a lot of my career when he was in Carolina, so we had a talk, he knows what kind of player I am and just wanted me to get healthy, come back strong and ready to goo. Kurt Warner Jersey. " The focus may be on getting his team ready for their first game Feb. 27 when the Phoenix Coyotes visit Winnipeg, but Maurice says hes still arranged practice Friday to let the team watch Canada and the U.S. play in the Olympics. "Weve moved practice so that we can get together and watch that as a team," he said. "Its a big deal so we want to respect that and enjoy it. . . At the end of the day hockey events are what were all about, right, and this is a big game." Its been seven years since the Atlanta Thrashers were swept in the first round of the NHL playoffs in their only appearance. Kane last played Jan. 26 in Chicago. He was out twice with an injured hand, the second time after what turned out to be a premature return resulted in an infection that saw his hand swell to the size of a baseball. He says hes sure hell be ready to go Feb. 27 and he likes where the Jets are now sitting. "We put ourselves in a position now where we can make a push and we have a legitimate shot to make the playoffs and contend," he said. "The last part of the schedule we play the teams that kind of bunched in with us so its going to be an good opportunity for us to make a push and finish off strong." Team captain Andrew Ladd says the time to practice will help the Jets get their pace back up. "I think that was the best part of our game, the last 10 games or so . . We were playing (with) speed and confidence and weve got to find a way to get that back." He said its also good to see players like Slater and Halischuk return after long absences. "Its nice to have some extra bodies."
