Jos Buttler is looking at it as a potential move. He is ready to play for whichever team he has been included in. Moreover, he also thinks, it would be logistically possible to play both the matches.

“I think I saw (limited-overs captain) Eoin Morgan say everything has to be looked at as a possibility,” Buttler, 29, told British media.

“If it was logistically possible, I think you would get people wanting to watch.

“Is it an option? Could you put two games on the same day? Potentially you could, in different areas,” said Buttler.

“It’s right that it is being considered.”

 “I don’t know, whichever one I got selected to play in,” Jos Buttler said when asked about which format he would pick.
