Jos Buttler will captain England in the ODI and T20 series against India.
England’s white ball captain Jos Buttler said that being with family during a cricket series does not affect the game. He said, one needs the support of family to keep oneself motivated and refreshed on long tours. After Covid, it has become even more important to keep our loved ones together and be with them.
This statement of Butler came before the start of the T20 series against India. On the other hand, BCCI imposed a time limit on Indian players meeting their families after losing the series against New Zealand and Australia. Captain Rohit Sharma himself did not seem happy with this decision.
It is important to spend time with family The first match of the T-20 series between India and England will be played on 22 January. Butler said before the match, ‘I think this is very important. We live in a modern world and in such times the family should also be together, so that we can share our sorrows and happiness with the family members.
Butler said, the T-20 series against India will be very exciting.
A lot of time is invested in cricket. Butler further said, ‘As a player, a lot of time is invested on the cricket field. Players stay away from their homes for long periods of time. Since Covid, spending time with family has become even more important. I don’t at all think that being with family has a bad effect on sports.
The family can be managed on long trips. I think players start getting mentally disturbed while playing cricket in other countries for a long time. Especially when the results are not in our favour, in such a situation it is important that we spend our time with a family member.
Jos Buttler will not do wicketkeeping in the series against India.
BCCI tightened family rules After losing the Test series against New Zealand 3-0 and Australia 3-1, BCCI made 10 rules regarding the players. One of these rules was regarding family, in which it was said that on tours of more than 45 days, family members would be able to stay with the players for only 2 weeks. Not only this, the players will also have to take permission from the team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir to meet their families. Read the full news…
