Pune : England cricket team’s limited overs captain Jos Buttler has expressed his desire to continue leading the team in both white-ball formats despite a lackluster performance in the ODI World Cup tournament. The defending champions, who were eliminated in the opening round of the World Cup, broke their five-match losing streak by defeating Netherlands by 160 runs on Wednesday.
England will now look to win over Pakistan in their final league match with a view to qualifying for the Champions Trophy in 2025. England men’s cricket team managing director Robb will be in India this weekend to join the team and discuss the team’s shortcomings. Apart from this, he will also select the team for the tour to West Indies next month. The England team will play three ODI and five T20 matches in West Indies.
During the discussion, a decision can also be taken on the future of Butler and Matthew Mott as captain and coach. “Yes, I would (like to captain the team in the white-ball tour next month),” Buttler said on Wednesday. I know that Rob is coming to India today. We can have some good talks with him and the coach and make a plan for that (West Indies) tour with everyone.
