England captain Jos Buttler knows a lot about how the wickets of the subcontinent will be. Indian Premier League regular games are all at your fingertips. He also played one season in BPL.So, when asked how Mirpur’s wicket would be, he said with a soft smile, ‘We are expecting a slow and low wicket. A condition that is difficult for us. The English cricket team is now in Dhaka to play three matches of the ICC ODI Super League. The first match between the two teams will start on March 1 in Mirpur. Buttler and Moeen Ali have come up with the fact that the wickets of the two matches in Dhaka will be slow, and the ball will spin. It is well known that Bangladesh will use its home-ground advantage to beat the ODI world champions. Bangladesh’s only trap for teams outside the subcontinent is the ‘slow and spin wicket’.

However, the English captain has no objection to using this home condition, ‘never thought about it. Bangladesh is a very good team in home conditions. They will want to take home advantage. They have been using it for the last few years. Fair enough.’However, Butler also sees the benefits of playing in such conditions. ODI World Cup will be held in India in October-November. Butler sees it as a great opportunity to test themselves by playing a match in Bangladesh’s conditions before the World Cup, ‘Bangladesh will be challenging for us. It is difficult to beat them at home. As he said, they lost India some time ago. We are looking forward to such a challenge right now. Because there are not many days left for the World Cup. Great opportunity to test yourself in almost similar conditions. We will know what state we are in as a team. In response to another question, Butler added, ‘We are getting the closest conditions to India here.

So this is a great opportunity for preparation. Before September this is a great opportunity for us to test ourselves. It is challenging for us and we are up for the challenge. After the 2015 World Cup, Bangladesh started a new path in limited-overs cricket. Bangladesh has won 12 of the 13 ODI series at this time. Only one loss was in 2016. Even against England at a 2-1 interval. Long won 30 out of 39 matches during this period. Lost in 9. Besides winning at home, Bangladesh also has success abroad. England came to Bangladesh as world champions.

They are considered favorites due to strength, power, and past success. There are also fond memories of the 2016 series win. But Butler feels that Bangladesh will give them tough competition.”That was a long time ago (the 2016 series win). Bangladesh has always had a good record at home. We have very good players on our team. We look forward to the challenge. We have brought players who have played in the subcontinent for the last few years. Many players have also played in the Bangladesh Premier League. They all have an idea of ​​what cricket can be like here. It will not be easy for sure but we are ready to take the challenge. England exited the 2015 World Cup after losing the group-stage match to Bangladesh. After that loss in Adelaide, England recovered to win the World Cup crown in four years. However, every time they played against Bangladesh, there was competition, the talk was thrown, and tension was spread. Butler has also been asked about those. The English captain avoided off-field issues by telling his opponent, ‘I don’t know. But both teams play good cricket whenever they take the field. I am expecting a competitive series this time too.
