England captain Jose Butler is disappointed with a 4–1 crushing defeat in the five-match T20 series, but is very excited about the upcoming ODI series. He admitted that his team did some things well, but many areas need to improve. Especially he praised his bowling and said that the team managed to perform well in the pieces.
Butler also praised the Indian team’s left -arm opener Abhishek Sharma, who worsened the condition of England bowlers by scoring a stormy century in just 37 balls.
“Losing the series is disappointing, but further preparation is necessary” – Jose Butler
Jose Butler said in the post-match presentation,
“We are disappointed at losing the series. We did some things well, but many cases need to improve. India is a great team, especially in its domestic conditions. This was a big experience for our players. “
He appreciated the bowling of his team and said,
“Some bowlers performed brilliantly, especially Breedon Cars and Mark Wood.”
In this match, Cars took three wickets and Mark Wood got two successes. However, the rest of the bowlers could not perform an impressive performance, causing England to face a big defeat.
“Abhishek Sharma’s innings was incredible”
Jose Butler said about Abhishek Sharma’s innings,
“I have seen a lot of cricket so far, but today’s batting was incredible. It was one of the best innings seen in T20 cricket. ”
Apart from this, he also expressed happiness about Joe Root’s return to the team and said,
“It is fantastic for a player like Root to be in the team. He is one of the best players in the world. “
“There will be a tough competition in ODI series”
England captains are now focusing on the ODI series. They said,
“We are eagerly waiting for the ODI series. It is reaching close to T20, isn’t it? This is going to be a great series against India. “
The three -match ODI series will begin on 6 February. The series will be like a dress rehearsal before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for both teams, where they will test their strategy and balance.
Now the thing to see will be how much England can compete with India in ODI format or Team India will continue its dominance form at home ground.
