Buttler: Bangladesh series will be vital ahead of World Cup
Speaking ahead of the South African series, Buttler said sky sports“We don’t have a lot of games before the World Cup, so they’re all crucial to try to define certain positions and give people some confidence in role clarity.
“We have a good idea of the team we want to take to the World Cup, but there is competition for places and people pushing and that motivates people and standards. We have a lot of options and over the next six months, it’s up to us to spell out what that looks like.
Jos Buttler says England ‘have a good idea’ of the squad they want to take to the 50th World Cup this autumn in India
“There are challenges around scheduling and player availability where you can’t develop like you did four years ago – I think we played 70 ODIs or something before the last World Cup, but now there have been fewer games and less time together.
“That’s how it is, there’s no reason for it to affect our performance. The series in Bangladesh will be vital, probably the only real chance we’ll have to experience the conditions we might encounter at the World Cup in India.”
