Buttler was quick to congratulate his red-ball teammates on their emphatic victory which drew the Test against India 2-2. England will now host India in the first T20I on Thursday (July 7) and Buttler has claimed that the white-ball boys are motivated by the Test squad’s impressive performance.
“Incredible to watch, what England did at Edgbaston. We will take cue from Incredible Test team and continue England’s winning run,” Buttler said to UK based daily.
England are on a winning run in all formats since the Test defeat against West Indies in March 2022. After that, England have won all their 4 Test matches played and 3 ODI’s against Netherlands. New captain Jos Buttler will lead his side for the first time against India and he warned the Men in Blue that he and his boys are in a mood to keep their winning momentum going.B After Eoin Morgan’s retirement from international cricket, Buttler was announced as the permanent skipper of the English side.
