New Delhi. Somewhere, the eyes are targeted somewhere… India and England are accurate on the ODI series. India and England will do two hands in the 3-match ODI series from 6 February. During this time, the eyes of both the teams will be on the Champions Trophy to be held from February 19. England captain Joss Butler has termed the series as the best in terms of preparation for the Champions Trophy.

India-England first ODI will be played in Nagpur on Thursday. With this match, some senior players of both India and England teams will return to the field. Jose Butler is very happy with the return of Joe Root in the team. Root has played 171 ODIs so far. Jose Butler said a day before the match, ‘Route is one of the great players of this game. He has done well in every format. He has been an important part of England’s ODI team for a long time. His return will also benefit the players with less experience in our team. It is expected that they will play an important role for the team in the upcoming matches.

Jose Butler did not hesitate to connect the Indo-England series to the Champions Trophy. England are to play their first match in the Champions Trophy against Australia in Lahore on 22 February. Butler said, ‘It has always been a big challenge to compete with India at his home grounds. But this is good for England. The circumstances of India are similar to Pakistan. However, every ground has some special feature and we always try to reconcile the circumstances.

The British captain also said that his team will continue to play aggressive cricket. He said, ‘We want to find ways to pressurize the opposing team in batting. It is related to implementing your strategy, whether you play aggressive cricket or defensive. Cricket lovers know that England lost 4 out of 5 matches in the T20 series.
