Buttler hopes more England cricketers to play in IPL

English vice-captain Jos Buttler on Wednesday said the time he spent with the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2016 made him a better cricketer.

“I think the IPL is probably the best cricket experience I’ve ever had. I’ve learnt as much, not just about T20 but about myself, about all forms of cricket, about what it takes to become a top cricketer. It’s the best experience I’ve had as a cricketer,” he said.

“Whether other people will feel that, I don’t know. I could only have good things to say about it. So hopefully, from my point of view, there are more English guys involved in experiencing playing in these conditions, in front of these crowds, under the pressure of being overseas players.”
