Big Test but will stay aggressive, says Butler

Set to make his Test debut against India in the third match of the series, England wicketkeeper batsman Jos Butler says it would be a big Test for him but he is determined to play aggressive cricket.
The 23-year-old Butler was brought in the team as a replacement for Matt Prior, who decided to take an indefinite break from cricket due to injury following another poor show in the 95-run defeat in the second cricket Test against India at Lord's.
"Test cricket is my ultimate goal," said Buttler, a couple of days ahead of what will surely be his debut Test.

"It was nice to have played ODIs and T20s for a while and it was a good introduction to the team environment. It's the same players, same backroom staff and it looks quite familiar to me now.
"Sunday is going to be a big Test for me and I am determined to enjoy the feeling," he said.
Having made his ODI debut in 2012, Buttler has now become a regular fixture in the England playing XI as well as the T20 side.

In the limited-overs arena, he is considered to be an aggressive batsman, something he had also brought into his first-class play in the county circuit.

In the 2014 season, he averages 40.57 from eight games so far at a healthy strike-rate of 55.14 and England will be hoping for a spark from him, especially considering that he models himself on Kevin Pietersen.
"I want to stay aggressive and score runs. When Pietersen played, people wanted to watch that. It is a little bit about momentum too," he said.
"I am playing well and I am in a better space. I am ready."
The third Test of the five-match series between India and England will start at Southampton on Sunday.
