Sky Sports quoted Butler as saying, "T20 is probably my favorite place to bat in cricket. In T20 I have had the most success while batting at the top. But it is natural that if you do T20 If we bat in the top three, then this is the best place for everybody. "
He said, "I've got maybe eight or nine guys who will join hands to bat in the top three. I'm very happy there. But I'm also very happy with Karen batting anywhere depending on the team's needs." "
Butler also scored 44 runs in the first T20 match and England won the match by two runs.
Butler added, "I have also batted in T20 and ODI cricket in the middle in my career, so I am very comfortable playing anywhere. It is really up to the coach and captain to decide. We have Depth and strength have been found. This is something that symbolizes good teams. "
Meanwhile, Butler has been ruled out of the third and final T20 match against Australia at the Ages Bowl on Tuesday.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) released a statement on Monday, informing that Butler had walked out of the bio bubble after the second T20 match ended on Sunday evening to join his family.
