Jos Buttler, England's wicket keeper-batsman, has named India and the West Indies the two countries that can significantly endanger the English in the 2021 T20 World Cup. The major tournament in the UAE begins on October 17. Still, the Three Lions will kick off their campaign on October 23 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium against a Caribbean team in a Super 12 encounter.

Buttler believes that his side can go all the way. England is currently ranked fourth in the ICC T20I team rankings, after New Zealand, India, and Australia. England would miss the services of Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes, but Buttler, one of the best white-ball players in his country, seemed confident in the number of match-winners in their ranks.

Buttler was a member of the England team that lost in the World T20 final in 2016 after Carlos Brathwaite smacked Stokes for four consecutive sixes at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Buttler believes that the British players, who have competed in the Indian Premier League, Big Bash League, and other events, make up a more robust unit.
