'Tired' Australia favourites for T20 World Cup: Jos Buttler

Aaron Finch admitted his team was "tired" and needed to freshen up before their defence of the Twenty20 World Cup title, but England skipper Jos Buttler on Saturday said the hosts remain the favourites. The reigning champions head into the showpiece cricket tournament on home soil, which starts Sunday with the preliminary round after a lacklustre three-match series against the English. They lost 2-0, with the third game abandoned Friday evening due to rain, culminating eight matches for Australia in 26 days -- three of them in India. "I think the guys are probably a little bit tired at the moment," Finch said after the washed-out England match, where he fell for a first-ball duck. "The schedule has been so packed over the last six to eight weeks that we identified a couple of months ago that we wanted to make sure that we're in a position to be peaking at the right time of the World Cup and not beforehand. "So it's going to be important over the next couple of days to try and freshen everyone up as much as we can."

Moeen Ali has dismissed concerns about Ben Stokes’s form with the bat with the T20 World Cup close.
