Priority Is To Play For England: Jos Buttler On His Decision Of Recalling Players Early From IPL
Buttler said playing for England remains his priority as the reigning T20 champions will take on Pakistan in the five-match home T20I series, starting on Wednesday.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) managing director Rob Key had said that Buttler wanted to bring players home from India to get along before heading to the West Indies and the USA for the T20 extravaganza. "I said, 'Look, as an England captain, my main priority is to be playing for England. It's my personal opinion that there shouldn't be any international cricket that clashes with the IPL. I think that these games have been on the calendar for a long time. Of course, leading into a World Cup, your No. 1 priority is playing for England and performing for England. I feel like this is the best preparation," ESPNcricinfo quoted Buttler as saying on Tuesday.
