5 cricketers who prefer books over social media

2. Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler, the English white-ball specialist, has been observed carrying mindset-focused books into high-intensity dressing rooms. He is associated with Stillness Is The Key by Ryan Holiday, a book that explores calm and mental clarity as tools for performance.

For a player who operates in the most pressurised formats of the game, including T20 internationals and franchise tournaments, the choice of a book centred on stillness and focus reflects a deliberate approach to managing the demands of modern cricket.
