England captain Jos Buttler has claimed that England will look to benefit from the players which have already participated in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) during their tour of Pakistan.

The England team landed in Karachi yesterday as both teams prepare for the much-awaited seven-T20I series.

Buttler, who himself is out injured for the initial part of the series, added that England are stepping into unknown conditions and it will be a huge benefit to have players who have already played in Pakistan during the PSL.

"We're all very excited to be here, We're looking forward to tour. It's great to be back as England after a long time, many of our players have played in PSL & shared positive experiences of being here & more than anything, how much the public here love cricket," he said.

The skipper further added that Pakistan has one of the best bowling talents in the entire world.

"Bowling talent in the PSL is the best in the world. There’s no league like it. We have encouraged young batters to try and get PSL contracts so they can hone their skills against 140-150kph bowlers. That’s why you’ve seen guys like Brooky and Smeed succeed," he stated.
