England’s disappointing eight-wicket loss to Sri Lanka may have left its World Cup hopes hanging by a thread, but skipper Jos Buttler stressed that he was still the right man to take the team forward.
“I think you’re always questioning [your position] as captain,” Buttler said on Thursday. “How to get the best out of players... how to get the team moving in the right direction. I certainly have a lot of confidence and belief in myself as a leader, and first and foremost as a player. But if you’re asking if I should still be captaining the team, that’s a question for the guys above me.”
