Skipper Jos Buttler on Friday hailed a new era for England and warned that his "dangerous" team were "very ready" for their title charge at the Twenty20 World Cup.

England, who along with hosts and holders Australia are the favourites, begin their campaign on Saturday against Afghanistan in Perth.
Buttler succeeded Eoin Morgan as England's white-ball captain in June and led his team to a 2-0 T20 series win over Australia and a victory over Pakistan leading up to the World Cup.
"We are in a good spot. We have had really good games in the last 10 matches and played some really good cricket," the wicketkeeper-batsman said, striking a buoyant tone.
