He has not gone in the way England would have liked, but Captain Jos Buttler said Wednesday that the ongoing tour of India is “a preparation as good as” for the Champions Trophy this month given the similarities in Conditions with Pakistan where your team will be based on the event. Buttler also believes that veteran batter Joe Root will play a fundamental role in both the Odi series against India, starting Thursday, and in the next Champions Trophy, given his experience.
England, which comes from a disappointing loss of the 1-4 T20i series, has received a very necessary impulse with the return of root. The experienced batter, who has 171 hate in his belt, recently enjoyed a successful season in SA20 with Paarl Royals, further reinforcing his form.
“Root is one of the great players of the game, so in all formats here it has obviously been a vital part of the Cricket Odi for England for a long time,” Buttler told journalists on the eve of the first hate here.
“He has a lot of experience in the Cricket Odi, which would be great for some of the boys who have not played so much in our group. He has been a vital player for England in all formats, and we feel that he has a crucial role for us to play in These games “. The ODI series serves as the final preparation of England before the Champions Trophy, where Buttler and its team will begin their campaign against Australia on February 22 in Lahore.
“As the preparation for any tournament is prepared, I think that facing India in India will always be a great challenge and a preparation as good as I can,” Buttler said.
“The conditions here in India can be similar (with those of Pakistan). Each land in which we play always has its own nuances and a little difference. We are always trying to adapt to that,” he added.
The captain of England reaffirmed his team’s commitment to the aggressive Cricket brand that has come to define it.
“We want to find ways to press the opposition with the bat. I think you have to take wickts, and it is crucial that you see how, if you let return for a period of time, they can continue to hurt you.
“Then, we will be desperate to try to find ways to take wickts,” he said.
“It’s always about execution, actually. Whether you want to be aggressive, you want to be conservative, you want to be measured, you still have to leave and execute it and play it well,” he added.
Buttler was praise for the captain of India Rohit Sharma, who will seek to recover form in the series.
“If I look back in that World Cup (2023), the two teams in the final were playing a really positive and aggressive crist, you think about the way Travis Head took that final with the bats, so you see that It may succeed, “he said.
“Obviously, Rohit takes a lot of credit because of the way he came out and played as a captain and pushed India more towards that style of Cricket, so absolutely, we want to be exactly the same.” The growth of Crickt T20 and the resurgence of the tests have raised serious doubts about the relevance of the game of 50 against and the concerns for their future. Buttler said he also understands doubts.
“I am not sure (about the future of Odi). I have really enjoyed 50 about the Cricket. It has always been one of my favorite formats. But it has certainly been pushed a little towards the margins in recent years and the way in which the programming, and obviously the emergence of T20 and franchise cryket.
“But I still think that if you talk to the boys about winning a World Cup, they would probably say a 50 -cup of 50 before an T20 World Cup at this time. If that is still the case advancing, I am not ‘I know,” he said.
“But the schedules are always the thing. If you can get the best players in the park, playing with each other in any format, I think people will always be excited to see it,” Buttler added.
