Speaking of India, they are coming into the bilateral series on the back of disappointing results against New Zealand and Australia in the Test arena. The entire unit would be expected to fire and perform optimally as the hosts gear up for the 50-over tournament to be played in similar subcontinental conditions in February and March. It is worth noting that India and England are in separate groups in the Champions Trophy.

In the same press conference as mentioned above, Buttler was effusive of his team members. He complimented almost all his bowlers' abilities to be highly skilled professionals with the bat.
