'Quite surreal that there's a match starting', Jos Buttler excited for The Ashes

Though England's Ashes preparations have been in a disarray with bad weather preventing any play on the first day of their second intra-squad game in Brisbane on Tuesday, Jos Buttler is excited for the Ashes to start.

English wicketkeeper-batter Buttler, who completed his quarantine along with 4 other players after landing in Australia following the T20 World Cup in the UAE, said that excitement will kick in now that the players have come together for the first time since arriving Down Under.

'It's quite surreal that there's a match starting in nearly a week's time. So I'm sure everyone involved in the game of cricket is really excited by that prospect to see some action on the field, start talking about people's performances, teams performances and seeing a great battle at the Gabba,' added Buttler.
