Jos Buttler's Anticipation


England's captain and dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman, Jos Buttler, is looking forward to what he calls a "great test" against New Zealand. This series is not just about winning matches; it's a crucial opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their strategies and line-ups ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup later this year. Buttler's leadership and performance will be instrumental in England's campaign.


Recent Form


England's last T20I series took place in Bangladesh, where they faced a tough challenge and ended up suffering a series whitewash. They'll be determined to put that behind them and start afresh on their home turf. Meanwhile, New Zealand enters this series on the back of a narrow escape against the UAE, where they secured a 2-1 series victory. However, their single-match loss to the hosts was a significant talking point. This inconsistency in performance will be on their minds as they face England.
