Now Buttler, who admits he will have to adapt his game to the ultimate format, has the added responsibility of having to excite as well as score runs and provide glovework that he admits is ‘still a work in progress.'
‘If you look around the world there are people who play in an aggressive manner and do well,' said the man who joined Lancashire this season to keep regularly. ‘When Kevin Pietersen played for England people were excited to watch him and David Warner has filled that role with Australia. It would be silly of me to go into my shell completely and curb my natural instincts.'
There is much for Buttler and whatever bowlers form the England attack to play for on Sunday.
