Jos Buttler eager to emulate Adam Gilchrist

England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler has claimed that he can achieve success by copying the role played by Adam Gilchrist.

Buttler is hoping that his unique style can win him a spot in the Test squad this summer, and he believes that the example set by Australia's former wicketkeeper-batsman will help him succeed in the longer format.

"Gilchrist really changed the role of the wicketkeeper, down the order playing that aggressive, attacking innings," the 23-year-old told BBC Sport.

"That's the thing that would suit me to try to emulate.

"You might get out in ways that seem unusual in four-day cricket but you know you can play innings that can turn games and win games for your team."

Buttler, who is currently first choice for England in limited-overs cricket, has never been called up to the Test squad.
