Likely predictions for the 2022 T20 World Cup
Jos Butler, the captain of England’s T20 World Cup squad, considers bench strengthening more crucial than series dominance during their five-match T20 series against the West Indies. But he believes that the collaborative atmosphere that has been established in recent years will enable the outcomes to take care of themselves.
