Jos Buttler stated that England’s depth in white-ball cricket is impressive, which was demonstrated by a second-string squad beating Pakistan at home. Buttler told the Daily Mirror:
Buttler highlighted the rise of Liam Livingstone, whom he feels has delivered compelling performances at the right time. The 31-year-old thinks Livingstone will be a key batter for England. He said:
Livingstone has indeed been impressive for England in T20s and the Hundred, smashing quick runs at will. The right-handed batsman hammered a T20 hundred against Pakistan and topped the run-scoring charts in The Hundred.

Jos Buttler admitted he wasn’t at his best in the summer as he has endured an inconsistent run with the bat. He is motivated to play his best cricket to help England win the T20 title. Buttler explained:
With the ECB calling off the team’s tour of Pakistan, Buttler will next take the field in the T20 World Cup. The white-ball vice-captain also skipped the UAE leg of IPL 2021 due to personal reasons.
