World Cup-winning captain Jos Buttler hopes his team’s triumph can help inspire his football counterparts to similar glory in Qatar.
Buttler acknowledged the message of support from Harry Kane before the five wicket win over Pakistan and will be tuning in to see whether another World Cup can be captured before the year is out.
“I hope it can inspire them,” said Buttler. “Obviously it is the start of a great tournament for them. I saw Harry Kane sent a message wishing good luck to the team, as well. So we're grateful for that. We're all immensely proud.
