Adil Rashid talks challenging conditions, Jos Buttlers captaincy and feisty FIFA tournaments in his first Bangladesh tour blog. After all the talk, its good to get out to Bangladesh. Coming here is something new for a lot of the lads. Its a new experience as well with the weather conditions and the whole atmosphere. I think everyone is looking forward to it. It should be a good tour ahead and hopefully we can do well. This weekend on Sky Sports Mix Watch Bangladesh v England ODI on Sky Sports Mix We had our first tour match on Tuesday in tricky conditions. It was very challenging, it was 40-odd degrees and the humidity was fairly high as well but we have to get used to it fairly quickly. It was completely different conditions for us but, at the same time, it was enjoyable and were looking forward to the next two weeks or so. Obviously, the game was also Jos Buttlers first here as captain and I think hell be very similar to Eoin Morgan: a very positive, very aggressive captain, always looking to take the aggressive, positive option.He went very well on Tuesday, both as a batsman and with his keeping. His captaincy was good too but in games like that it is hard to tell, its more about bowlers getting overs under their belt so he was forced to rotate. Jos Buttler will be a positive captain, says Rashid I definitely think he will lead by example but then whatever is on his mind, he is going to say too. When he talks everybody is going to listen because when he does talk, he talks a lot of sense and with a lot of maturity.He is a very positive character in the way he speaks and the way he goes about his cricket. I think hell be a great leader for us in this one-day series. I think hell do exceptionally well. He has a strong mind-set and, like I said, hes a positive character.Personally, coming to these places with conditions like these where people say it favours the spinners, its about enjoying that challenge and trying to embrace it. Firstly, youve got to adapt to the conditions and then try to really enjoy it. It is going to be a challenge as well because well be bowling to good players of spin, who have been brought up playing spin but Im just looking to enjoy the craft of bowling leg-spin in these conditions and finding a way to succeed out here.Every country you go to you have to adapt and bowl a bit differently, bowl different paces or whatever and its the same out here. You have to find that pace and you have to find it pretty quickly. Its exciting and Im really looking forward to it.In general, whether things are going my way or not, I try to have a positive attitude but since the Big Bash last winter - that went pretty well for me - and the ODI series with Sri Lanka and Pakistan, things have gone well for me with England, with the white ball. Rashid enjoyed a superb white-ball summer for England Whether I perform or not, Im confident in my skills and my ability. Its about going out there and having fun; if you have a good day, you have a good day, if not, it isnt something to worry about. You have good days, you have bad days and that is just part of cricket. At the moment, Im fairly confident in my game and hopefully I can just carry on like that. Rob Key checks out the pitch ahead of the first ODI between Bangladesh and England in Dhaka on Friday. Away from the cricket, weve been here for four or five days and so far weve not been out of the hotel in the evenings. The only place weve been to so far is to the ground and back. There is a lot of free time and so weve been playing a lot of FIFA. Some of the lads have brought their Xboxs and their PS4s with FIFA 17 so there has been a lot of competitions, a lot of banter and a lot of feisty people!There are a lot of jokes flying around and that is keeping us going. In the evenings well all go to somebodys room - it has been Sam Billings so far - and stay there for a couple of hours, have a few games and a bit of a laugh with all the boys. Sam Billings thinks that he is a big dog when it comes to FIFA, according to Rashid I would say Im okay but there are some who think theyre pretty good. Billings actually thinks hes a big dog when it comes to FIFA but he has his ups and downs. There are a few who are pretty good but I hold my own.Im sure the competitions will continue throughout the tour but, of course, our main focus is the cricket, starting with the first ODI on Friday.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

Louis Blues are reportedly taking restricted free agent forward Vladimir Sobotka to arbitration.GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Green Bay Packers are in playoff mode, even after a loss on Sunday at Buffalo clouded their post-season prospects.Breaking from the norm, coach Mike McCarthy had his players elect playoff captains Monday, six days ahead of a critical game at Tampa Bay. Usually, that voting isnt conducted until the Monday after the conclusion of the regular season.Were looking at this game as really the start of our playoff approach, playoff mindset, McCarthy said Wednesday. This is a road game that we have to have. We clearly understand the importance of winning in December, but we feel like we need to take it up a notch as a football team to make sure that we improve not only as a team but, most importantly, in the win column. This is a playoff-type preparation. We discussed it in the team meeting.Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Jordy Nelson were selected on offence, linebacker Julius Peppers and safety Morgan Burnett on defence, and Randall Cobb and Jarrett Bush on special teams.Of course, the Packers wont need playoff captains if they dont play better than they did in a 21-13 loss at Buffalo. If Green Bay wins at Tampa Bay and either Philadelphia loses to Washington or Dallas beats Indianapolis, the Packers will clinch a playoff berth. Beat Tampa Bay and then Detroit, which is tied with Green Bay for the NFC North lead, and the Packers will earn the division title and a coveted first-round playoff bye.Offensively, it starts with Rodgers bouncing back after what statistically was the worst game of his career. The Packers, who entered last week with the most points scored and fewest giveaways in the league, managed only one touchdown while turning over the ball twice.I think its a mindset of dealing with adversity in a positive way and pushing through it, and when the going gets tough, they say the tough get going, Rodgers said. (Being) mentally tough, I think, is a trait that allows you to overcome some rough performances, and thats what I rely on after a poor performance is my mental preparatiion and my mental fortitude.ddddddddddddIts not only Rodgers whos looking to put last weeks performance behind him. The Packers dropped six passes after entering the game with only 17 for the season, according to STATS. The receivers didnt do any more ball drills than usual, Nelson said, and the only recourse was to move on to this weeks game.The focus level and guys working hard and trying to continue to improve (are the keys), said Nelson, who dropped what might have been a 94-yard touchdown that could have changed the outcome against Buffalo. Even though its late in the year, you cant start settling for where youre at, and theres always areas to improve each and every week, whether its individually or as an offence. I think weve got professional guys in here that take a lot of pride in our work, whether its in practice or if its in a game.That pride has shown up this season. After the Packers three losses, theyve bounced back to win by an average of 23 points. With a healthy Rodgers, the Packers havent dropped back-to-back games since October 2010. That starts with the leadership, McCarthy said, which is why he decided to elect playoff captains now rather than waiting a couple of weeks. Hes looking toward his leaders to take the responsibility of pushing this team past last week and into the post-season.Its that time of the year. Its the playoff time of the year, said Peppers, a quiet veteran who was added during the off-season. So yeah, if you want to say its that time to turn it up, then you can say that. Its an honour to be voted by your teammates. Any time youre voted captain, youve got to accept that responsibility and step up and be a leader.Added Nelson: Its an honour. Probably one of the higher honours you can get is when guys on your team look at you in that way. But theres also a responsibility and pressure with it, so I take that very personal and look to be a leader for this team and hopefully guide us on a playoff run.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
