Amid England’s dismal ODI run, Buttler hints at new journey
“The series is the start of a new journey for this team. You can’t get experience if you don’t give people experience to play and be in those situations”, Buttler said as per Belfast Telegraph.
He continued: “It’s a very young side barring myself in terms of experience in the number of caps, so guys will have taken a lot from this and learned a lot. We have given them exposure and given them opportunity.
“There is a hell of a lot of talent and depth and guys will get better and better. I’m looking forward. Times change, things move on and it’s very important to look forward.”
