On the Preparation:
The T20 World Cup is just a few days away. But the English players are in their prime form. All the players departed early from IPL for their national duty.

Having been named in England’s T20 squad, they are big strengths.
While talking about this, Buttler said, “I think we’ve got a really nice, blended squad, actually. We’ve got a lot of experience but some guy who are really on the upward curve with the likes of Phil Salt, Will Jacks.”
