Jos Buttler eager for England to demonstrate their strength at T20 World Cup

England’s cricket team is gearing up for redemption at the T20 World Cup 2024 after a disappointing performance in last year’s ODI World Cup. Captain Jos Buttler is determined to show that his team is still a force to be reckoned with, despite their pride being “dented” by their early exit in India.

The upcoming four-match T20 series against Pakistan will serve as a crucial preparation for the tournament in the West Indies and the United States. Buttler emphasized the importance of learning from past mistakes and seizing the new opportunity presented in a different format.

One of the key decisions made by Buttler was to pull all squad members back from the Indian Premier League to focus on preparing as a collective unit. He stressed the importance of prioritizing international cricket over domestic leagues and believes that this approach will provide the best preparation for the World Cup.

While England faces some injury concerns with Liam Livingstone and Mark Wood unavailable for the opening fixture, the return of Jofra Archer after 14 months is a welcome boost. Buttler cautioned against expecting too much from the talented bowler, urging for patience and managing expectations.

As Buttler awaits the arrival of his third child, experienced player Moeen Ali is ready to step in if needed. Family comes first for Buttler, who is committed to being present for the birth while also leading his team in their title defense starting on June 4 against Scotland in Barbados.

With a renewed sense of determination and focus, England is ready to prove their worth on the international stage once again.
