"They’re a very balanced side, they’ve played in a lot of big games. We don’t talk enough about the IPL and how that obviously sets you up as a cricketer but also sets you up in big games. And under pressure and big crowds and that’s what you need going into a World Cup. So they’ve done all that they could do," said Hussain on Sky Sports.
Hussain talks about having Plan B for T20 World Cup 2024
The former England skipper praised the team for being in a good space heading into the mega tournament and but also suggested that they will also need a Plan B in case they don’t start well like the ODI World Cup 2023.
"They’ve just got to be better than they were at that 50-over World Cup. They went into that with a lot of hope and it didn’t start well and they didn’t react well. So they need to have a Plan B. If we don’t start well, if things don’t go well, how do we react? How do we react to slower pitches? How do we react when better sides come up against us? But under Buttler and what they’ve got in this side they’re in a real good place. They just got to go and do it," he added.
