Buttler keen to play for England instead of IPL

Jos Buttler expects to be playing for England rather than taking part in a rescheduled Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 Cricket Tournament.

The IPL was postponed in May and is set to be concluded in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in September and October.

“Usually the IPL doesn’t clash with any international cricket,” said Buttler. “When it does clash, probably England will take precedence.”

“In the past 18 months to two years, there have been some strides made, and the side is going in the right direction,” he said.

“Some key personnel weren’t playing in the games. Things are still in a good place.”

Buttler is returning to the England side for the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka, the first of which is in Cardiff on Wednesday.

“I want to play as much as I can,” he said. “You always want to be available for everything.” (BBC)
