I feel responsible, motivated to bring back England to where it has been for a long time, says skipper Jos Buttler
ODI against West Indies, England skipper Jos Buttler said that there is a lot of exciting new talent in the team and he will personally take the responsibility to bring back the Three Lions to the previous days of glory following a disastrous World Cup campaign in India.
England and West Indies will kick off the white-ball series from Sunday onwards with the first ODI.
After the disastrous World Cup campaign, England has once again done a white-ball reset by introducing new, young talent in the team, marking the start of a new era.
Speaking to the media after practice at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, Buttler reflected on the two difficult months endured by England and how the WC does not define him and the team.
«There is some really exciting talent in this team.
Young guys are eager to get their opportunities and perform. Some of these players have not been exposed to ODI cricket a lot, but have a lot of experience in Test cricket, so not necessarily new to the international game.
It's a nice blend,» said Buttler as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.
Buttler admitted that England has had a bad WC, but there is still a lot of talent and depth coming up in the team and he feels responsible and motivated personally to bring England back to its best.
«We have had one bad tournament. It has been in a great place for a long time and you see the depth of talent of guys coming through and want to help shape that period of white-ball cricket.
That is something I feel responsibility and motivation for....to get England white-ball cricket back to where it's been for a long time,» said Buttler.
A player that impressed Buttler was pacer John Turner, who threw a spell filled with bouncers at both the skipper and Harry Brook.
