Jos Buttler eager to shine on international arena - Cricket News Update
The wicketkeeper batsman of Somerset, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jos-Buttler-c1733, eagerly awaits the one-off T20 International between England and West Indies at Nottingham on Sunday, June 24, with an aim to prove a point on the international arena as well.
The 21-year-old right-handed batsman was last week called up into England’s T20 squad for the one-off encounter against on-tour Windies. Whilst his Somerset teammate http://www.senore.com/Cricket/C-Kieswetter-c1206 is a confirmed option to keep the wickets, Buttler is expected to play
as a specialist batsman, given he gets a spot in the starting XI.
The hard-hitting batsman played a blatant knock of 58 not out in a Friends Life T20 match against Northants last Sunday, helping Somerset seal a five-wicket win on the penultimate ball of the match.
Despite becoming an integral part of Somerset’s T20 campaign, the rookie batsman is yet to prove a point in the Three http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, scoring just 30 runs in four innings.
Speaking to media reporters ahead of Somerset’s match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warwickshire-c862 on Thursday, Buttler said that earning England selection was a much easier task than going out there and performing well. He however hoped to do well against West Indies on Sunday,
and press claims for a permanent spot in the national set up.
“Getting picked is probably the easiest bit you can do but performing at the stage is something I have not really done yet and is something I want to do when I get the chance,” said the 21-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843-born cricketer ahead of the Flt20 clash against
Bears, on June 21.
“Some games go like that where you do not get in and in others I have been outdone by some world class bowlers. It is something I really want to get back into and have a really strong performance in,” he added further.
Buttler also admitted that he was a bit nervous ahead of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 encounter.
“There is always going to be pressure when you play for England, it is just about performing now,” said the right-handed batsman.
Meanwhile, the injured Somerset skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marcus-Trescothick-c1898 has predicted a bright future for the young batsman, and is hopeful the 21-year-old will soon become a regular member of England’s limited-overs squad.
