Hopefully, I’ll Come Come Out The Other Side – Jos Buttler
The 33-year-old expressed his frustration with his own form, emphasizing his desire to lead by example with better performances. The wicketkeeper batter hoped to overcome his recent run of poor form soon.
“You want to lead from the front and do that in your own performance. I’ll stick to the stuff that’s served me well over a long period of time when I’ve had these little runs of form and hopefully, I’ll come out the other side of it very soon,” Buttler further added.
