Ahead of the Ashes series between England and Australia, wicket-keeper Jos Buttler said that he is open to more than a regular series. He said that a day-night Test would make for an incredibly unique series.

Buttler was released from two weeks in quarantine on Tuesday in time for the scheduled practice match between England and the England Lions in Brisbane’s northern suburbs.

The five-Test Ashes series starts December 8 at the Gabba in Brisbane. This means England is short on match practice ahead of a tour where they’re hoping to win a Test on Australian soil for the first in 10 years.

“If there’s one place in the world where day-night test match cricket seems to work, it looks like it’s Australia that’s the best I’d say,” Buttler told an online news conference. “It would just make for an incredibly unique Ashes series.”

Hobart is pitching to replace Perth in a direct swap, while Sydney and Melbourne are contenders to host two tests in the series due to the COVID pandemic.

There’s also growing speculation it could become a day-night Test. The second Test is already scheduled as a day-nighter in Adelaide starting December 16.

The Australians have won all eight day-night, pink ball tests they’ve played, starting with the world’s first against New Zealand at Adelaide in 2015. As for England, they have lost the three away day-night Tests it has played.

Those records didn’t bother Buttler, who has played 53 Tests but is yet to experience an Ashes match on Australian soil.

The more pressing issue right now for both teams is getting time in the middle. England’s star all-rounder Ben Stokes hasn’t played a Test match since March.

Both squads have players in their ranks who’ve had to quarantine at the Gold Coast, south of Brisbane, for two weeks after flying in from the Twenty20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

Australia also has a new test captain, with fast bowler Pat Cummins leading the hosts after Tim Paine quit following media reports he’d been investigated four years ago by Cricket Australia for sending explicit text messages to a female co-worker.

Buttler said the team which can best ignore the distractions will have an advantage at the start of the Ashes series.

“There always seems to be certain things that happened before the Ashes series,” Buttler said. “As players, it’s very important that you don’t get too drawn into that or too drawn into what the opposition are doing.”
