Jos Buttler, England’s skipper, is revving up a revamped ODI squad for their upcoming clash against the West Indies.
Post a lackluster performance at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in India, where they secured the seventh spot, Buttler is keen to infuse a fresh lease of life into the team.
Acknowledging the setback, Buttler emphasized that it’s crucial not to let one tournament define their prowess. He’s enthusiastic about guiding and shaping the future of England’s white-ball cricket, drawing motivation from the depth of talent surfacing in the squad.
Moreover, Buttler highlighted his evolving role, not just as a player but as a mentor to nurture the budding talents within the team. His focus lies not only on his personal performance but also on steering the collective effort towards success.
The skipper’s perspective on handling disappointments has matured, attributing this partly to having a family. He believes in keeping a balanced outlook, understanding that setbacks don’t define one’s journey entirely.
Buttler’s optimism about the budding talents like Phil Salt and Will Jacks, set to feature in the opening roles for the first ODI, echoes his faith in the team’s potential. The blend of youth and some experienced faces promises an exciting series as England faces off against the West Indies in Antigua.
The first ODI takes place on Sunday in North Sound at Antigua.
