NEW DELHI: England captain Jos Buttler acknowledged that his team’s ongoing tour of India has not gone as planned but emphasised that it serves as "as good a preparation as you can have" for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan later this month.
Following a disappointing 1-4 defeat in the T20I series, England is set to begin a three-match ODI series against India in Nagpur on Thursday. Buttler believes these matches will help fine-tune their preparations ahead of their Champions Trophy opener against Australia on February 22 in Lahore.
