The questions arose about England’s approach after the defeat of the 1-4 T20i series against India. However, when the team is preparing for the ODI series with three matches, starting with Nagpur on Thursday, Captain Jos Buttler is not going to change the aggressive brand of his team.
“We want to find ways to put pressure on the opposition with a bat. You have to take wickets – it’s crucial. If you let the stickers settled, they can hurt you, so we want to find ways to take the gates desperately – said Buttler.
“Regardless of what you are planning, you must do it well. We believe that this is the best way to win games and maximize the potential of our players. So we’ll double. I think we played well in T20S phases, but it’s really important that we stay up to date with how we want to play. ”
A series of three matches is also an opportunity for a visiting team to take care of his weaknesses in front of the masters trophy, which will take place in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates from February 19.
When England is to play all league matches in Pakistan, lessons in this series against India may prove invaluable. “Conditions in Pakistan may be similar. Each ground has its own nuances and we always try to adapt. When it comes to preparing for any tournament, taking India in India is always a great challenge – said Buttler. “It’s as good preparation as you can …”
The England captain also emphasized that adapting to the conditions is the key to success in India. “Regardless of whether you want to be aggressive, conservative or measured, you still have to go out, do and play there,” he said. “If I look back [2023 ODI] The World Cup, two teams in the final (India and Australia) played a really positive and aggressive Kryquet brand. Think about how Travis Head took control in this finale – it shows that this approach can succeed. This is a great part of the world for this style cricket. Rohit (Sharma) deserves many recognition for the way he played as a captain and pushed India to this approach. We want to be exactly the same. We think that this gives us the best chance to get positive results. ”

Buttler also confirmed that Joe Root remains the option of the first selection of England for Nest 3. “He is one of the great games. For a long time it was an important part of the cricket of Odi in England and I am excited that I can see him in this phase of my career. He returned with this insolent smile, really enjoying his crickets, and I expect him to do exactly the same in this environment – he said.
“He has a lot of experience in Odi crickets, which will be great for some guys who didn’t play so much in our group. Has a key role to play in these games … “
