England want to play their brand of cricket

Captain urges his comrades to adapt to local condition

England acting ODI captain Jos Buttler said they will concentrate on themselves so they can make their habituation on the track and fight against Bangladesh by showcasing their brand of cricket.  

“It is great for us to be here for this three-game series. We have been playing really well in the last 18 months when we have played an exciting brand of cricket. Conditions will dictate how you can play,” said Jos Buttler, who will lead England in the ODI series of the tour in place of Eoin Morgan.
“I will be asking the guys to take the front foot and attack. There may be different ways to do things here. Bangladesh have been very successful in their own conditions. But we generally try to focus on ourselves, what we can do well and how we can combat the opposition,” Buttler told media at their formal press briefing at the Media Block of the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the capital yesterday. 
“We have a very talented side with some exciting young guys in the team. They are very hungry to push on. We want to become one of the best one-day teams in the world. To do that, we have to adopt to conditions and play on all surfaces,” he added.
The wicketkeeper-batsman describes Bangladesh as a sound side at their home turf and stated that they want to perform on what approach they have been playing at different condition across the world. 
“We will be playing against a confident team in their own conditions. If you look at the makeup of the Bangladesh side, their spinners have been doing well. We will be ready to get used to the conditions. We are focused on ourselves and what we need to prepare. We are a young athletic team and I will want us to play in the same way,” the 26-year-old explained.
“It would be a good challenge for the guys. We had a series in Dubai last winter on those pitches in which we played well. We have to learn to adopt and win in all conditions. We still want to be aggressive and bat as fast as we can, but conditions will dictate.”
“From previous experience, I think it takes 10 or 15 balls. If you can get through that period, then you start to get used to the pace of the pitch and the timing. Rotation of the strike, and boundaries may be tougher to come by. We will play our brand of cricket but we will adjust it to conditions,” Butler, who played 15 Tests, 78 ODIs and 50 T20Is so far for England, said.  
Showing security concerns after the July terror attack in Dhaka, some of the English players including regular ODI captain Eoin Morgan pulled out of Bangladesh’s tour. The acting captain said that they have a good depth in their team at the moment despite being pulled out of some players.  
“Hales and Root are two guys who have been doing well for us in the last 18 months or so. Guys not being here creates opportunities for others. There are some exciting guys coming in to the squad. There is great depth in England cricket at the moment. There are players missing out. Competition for places is fierce in the team,” he said, adding “Ben Duckett, who is yet to make his debut, has had a stellar year in county cricket and for the England Lions. Guys like Sam Billings who has been knocking on the door and could have played for a long time.”
When asked about the security, the right-hander said that they got the highest level of security while they traveling to the sub continent. 
“Security is paramount when traveling to the sub-continent. We are always looked after well. Obviously there is a lot of security but that’s part and parcel of making the tour okay. Thankfully, now we are here. We will start practicing today and start thinking about cricket. I think those things will go back into the background,” Butler said.
“It will be a very competitive series. I think today we start training and start gearing up for the matches,” he also said.
“Being England captain is a great honour, something that I will try to enjoy as much as I can. It is very much a short term thing. The three games will be a great taste of what it is like to be a captain. It will be a great environment to play and captain in,” Somerset-born lad said while he was asked about his captaincy.
