We had a phenomenal last season. We have to stay in the present. We didn’t have to think about the past. We need to play our best brand of cricket. Cooper has come in. Stoinis, Bartlett and Marco Jansen.”

Meanwhile, Shubman Gill said, “The wicket looks pretty good. Rain on and off over the last two days. Looks like a good wicket to bat on. Last year, we had a pretty good season. Two debutants – Glenn and Ashok Sharma. We’ve got Jos, Glenn, Rashid and Rabada. He (Buttler) is such an experienced player, I am sure he’s going to have a great year for us.”
