Not sure why England prefer Butler over Prior (a very capable batsman, infact I w’d say the best test wicket-keeper batsman right now) as wicket-keeper in limited overs cricket
Butler hardly ever scores runs with the bat in crucial games

True
However it remains to be seen if Bhuvu, Yadav and Jadeja etc. can deliver with the ball in overseas tests as well, ... next stop South Africa
test matches are different.....i was reflecting on ODI/T20 ..this squad will struggle in test matches overseas...need more time, more mental stability, more agility and more experience.

If anyone else noticed, Dhoni held trophy for like 2 seconds and handed it over to the young players. He did the same even in the WC.
Either it is the depth of the man or due to lack of seniors he feels older now.
