'Cricket stopped for the rest of the IPL...' Jos Buttler gave a big statement before the series against Pakistan

 

  Jos Buttler: The Indian Premier League is the biggest cricket league in the world. The players playing in it not only get a lot of money, but they also get a chance to showcase their talent in front of fans who are passionate about cricket. This is the reason why almost all international cricket stops during the IPL. However, there are a few countries, including Pakistan, who play bilateral series at this time. Meanwhile, England's white ball captain Jos Buttler has given a big statement saying that there should be no international series during the IPL.

England players got a call

Actually, the England cricket team has to play a 4-match T20 series against Pakistan from May 22. In such a situation, all the English players had to leave the IPL 2024 playoffs and return home. Due to this, Rajasthan Royals' Jos Buttler and Royal Challengers Bangalore's Will Jacks, who were in great form, also had to return to England. But after this, Jos Buttler made a big statement saying that the schedule of any international series should not clash with the IPL.

Jos Buttler gave a big statement

Before the start of the T20 series against Pakistan, England's ODI and T20 captain Jos Buttler said during the press conference, “My main priority as the captain of England is to play for England. But my personal opinion is that no international cricket should collide with IPL.”

He further said, “I think these matches (IPL) have been a part of the calendar for a long time. Obviously your priority before the World Cup is to play for England and perform for England, I think this is the best preparation.”

T20 series will be played between ENG vs PAK

A 4-match T20 series will be played between Pakistan and England from May 22. This is a good opportunity for both the teams to finalize their preparations before the ICC T20 World Cup starting from June 2. The second match of the series will be played on 25 May, the third match on 28 May and the fourth match on 30 May.
