T20 World Cup: Jos Buttler Backs Jonny Bairstow To Excel As Number Four Batter For England
T20 World Cup: England skipper Jos Buttler has backed wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow to excel as a number four batter for the defending champions during their T20 World Cup title defence in the upcoming tournament.
Bairstow was slated to open for England in the 2022 Men’s T20 World Cup, but a freak leg injury after slipping at a golf course led to him missing the tournament which Buttler & Co won. This time, he will play in the middle order for England, with his ability to attack spin in the middle overs expected to come handy.
"I think for every player in the team, it's about trying to read the situation of the game and play accordingly. Jonny's got the experience and the game to play that role for us at number four. It's something he's done quite a bit in the T20 side previously as well, and he's got great variety in his game."
