5 reasons why England have been the most exciting LOI team since 2015 WC

#5 Flexibility in approach

Buttler is no longer just a finisher

While being flexible in limited overs is not a new concept, but it has taken England long to realise this. But now that they have, they are doing it better than the rest.

The team management is not shy to experiment and to express, even if it appears risky at the outset, and this is where the mentality has undergone a drastic change. For instance, Jos Buttler was for long perceived as a finisher, and thus always walked in after the 40th over. This new management has realised that he is a far better batsman than a slogger at the back-end of the innings. Hence, he now regularly bats in the top 4 or 5, and his impact is for all to see.

This is where the thinking has changed and not surprisingly the results are starting to flow in.
