New white-ball captain Jos Buttler has expressed his frustration with England's busy schedule, admitting it his made the start of his time as skipper "tough".
Buttler's side are in the midst of a run of 12 games in just 24 days and have been far from their best, losing the ODI and T20I series to India and drawing the ODI series against South Africa. And Buttler believes the schedule has prevented England from playing "the highest standard of cricket possible" as they have not had enough time to properly prepare.
Speaking after the final ODI against South Africa was abandoned due to rain, he said: "There's no getting past the fact that the schedule makes it tough. It's also a frustration of mine we don't have any training days.
