"We're similar in the way we see the game but just getting to spend time with him and opening my eyes to certain things or the other way around. For me, I want this to be the most enjoyable part of my career. I've played for a decent amount of time now so maybe a shift in the goalposts of what you really want to achieve and for me, that's helping guys become what they can be and building towards two big events later on," England's white-ball skipper Jos Buttler said.
