But life moves on, it&#8217;s a chapter in the book and there are lessons you learn, but we&#8217;re presented with a new opportunity now, in a different format. We go to the West Indies and want to give a better account of ourselves. It&#8217;s a real honour to go to another World Cup as defending champions again, but it also feels like a new time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/24hscore.net\/news\/cricket-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cricket News Update<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Together \u2764\ufe0f <br>Training ? <br>Tomorrow ?? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Hyxb882JVi\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/Hyxb882JVi<\/a><\/p>&mdash; England Cricket (@englandcricket) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/englandcricket\/status\/1792939200918028322?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">May 21, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buttler played a key role in England&#8217;s decision to recall all squad members from the Indian Premier League to prepare together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dynamic batsman emphasized that the IPL should not overlap with international cricket. &#8220;As England captain, my main priority is to be playing for England,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s really important for us to spend this time together. Leading into a World Cup, your number one is performing for England and it feels like this is the best preparation. But it&#8217;s my personal opinion there shouldn&#8217;t be any international cricket that clashes with the IPL &#8211; these games have been in the calendar a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two members of England&#8217;s 15-man squad will miss the opening match in Leeds, with Liam Livingstone and Mark Wood recovering from knee issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fast bowler Jofra Archer will make his first England appearance in 14 months, but Buttler cautioned against expecting too much from the injury-prone star. &#8220;We all know what a superstar he has been, but let&#8217;s manage those expectations,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Don&#8217;t expect too much, too soon. A great success would be him coming through this series with a big smile on his face and his body holding up.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also uncertainties regarding Buttler&#8217;s own availability, as his wife Louise is expecting their third child. Moeen Ali is prepared to step in as captain if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;My family comes first. I&#8217;ll be at the birth,&#8221; Buttler said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think they quite tell you when they&#8217;re going to come, but we&#8217;ve got a plan in place and fingers crossed everything will go well.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">England will begin their T20 World Cup title defense on June 4th against Scotland in Barbados.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jos Buttler is eager for his England team to prove they remain a formidable force at the T20 World Cup, following a disappointing 50-over title defence last year that left them with &#8220;dented&#8221; pride.
