CRICKET – Former England captain Jos Buttler is determined to reassert himself at the top level by staying in the right mental space, insisting his priority is to shed pressure and allow performances to flow rather than force them.
The 35-year-old endured a difficult Twenty20 World Cup, scoring only 87 runs in eight matches as England were knocked out by India in the semi-finals earlier this month.
Buttler will now look for a fresh start with Indian Premier League side Gujarat Titans, where he is expected to play a key role.
He acknowledged, however, that expectations have followed him throughout his international career and can be a double-edged sword.
“Expectations can be something that can obviously help you at times because you want to live up to those standards and practice and perform well but they can be limiting at times,” Buttler said.
