LONDON: (Mar 19) England batting mainstay Jos Buttler has said that spending time away from cricket after a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign should put him in good stead as he looks for a fresh start with the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League beginning later this month.

Former England captain Buttler continued to receive the team’s backing even as his runs dried up during the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, a lean patch for one of the country’s most prominent white-ball batters.

Buttler managed just 87 runs across eight matches at an average of 10.87, with a forgettable strike rate of 116, while opening the batting for England at the World Cup. England bowed out of the tournament after losing to India in a high-scoring semifinal in Mumbai.
