“He personifies a lot of what we talk about as a team and how we expect individuals to play.”
“Certainly, if he gets a chance to play, I don’t expect to see much else from him.”
“He’s clearly not someone who is going to shy away from a challenge; I believe he will surely take it on” Jos Buttler Added.
