Butler unhappy with players’ preference for franchise cricket

England’s limited-overs captain Jos Buttler has admitted that he is upset at players not being able to pick the best team for international tournaments due to their preference for franchise cricket. Alex Hales, Sam Billings and David Willey have decided not to play the series against Bangladesh in March to play franchise cricket. Butler told ‘ESPN Cricinfo’, “We want to choose our best available team.” In the World Cup and big ICC tournaments. Sometimes there is frustration that we are not able to do so, but I understand the decision of the players.

England have picked 37 players in the 33 ODIs they have played since the 2019 World Cup. Butler said, “It is a strange situation. The way the matches are scheduled, we have to understand both the sides. Being the captain of England, I want the best players to play, but then thinking from the point of view of the players, there is a lot of difference between playing for England and earning from playing franchise cricket, which has to be understood. New players Tom Abel and Rehan Ahmed have been selected in the team. Butler said, “In these circumstances you have to choose the best available option. If someone doesn’t play then someone else will get a chance but I don’t want to get into a situation where you say this player will never play for England again.
