Jos Buttler, the captain of the England cricket team, has outlined his team’s strategy for the Men’s ODI World Cup. They are determined to play aggressive cricket, challenge their limits, and begin their campaign by facing New Zealand, a rematch of the 2019 final, at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
England, already double world champions in white-ball cricket, won the Men’s ODI World Cup in 2019 under Eoin Morgan’s leadership and the T20 World Cup in 2022 under Buttler’s captaincy.
Buttler stated, “We aim to play aggressive cricket, push our boundaries as players and as a team. Our style is exciting, where we take risks to win, creating thrilling matches that fans enjoy watching.”
