Captain Jos Buttler has promised much when England launch their campaign to defend the World Cup they won in dramatic fashion four years ago. The brand of cricket England have been playing was termed “a revolution” by Ravi Shastri at the captains’ conclave at the Modi Stadium here on Wednesday. The England skipper promised to continue the aggressive style of cricket even at the cost of a few setbacks when they take on New Zealand today to get the mega-show underway.
“The aggressive brand of cricket started by [former captain] Eoin Morgan has become the mantra for the present team, be it when playing with the red ball or white ball. There are bound to be a few reverses on the way. But we are mentally prepared for such eventualities. But in the long run, we have benefitted by being positive,” the England captain said.
