Jos Buttler made his debut four years ago against India when he made his highest score of 85. This time around, Buttler will be keen to score his maiden Test hundred.

We’ve had an incredible summer and I don’t think we should moan about it. I don’t think it’s going to be quite subcontinental conditions but in international cricket, you need to adapt to all conditions, whether that be home or away. The side that does that the best will have a good series,” he added.
