After England beat Pakistan by five wickets to win the T20 World Cup and become the first men’s team to hold the sport’s two great limited-overs trophies simultaneously, Jos Buttler declared this might be just the start of a period of global domination.

“A lot has been made of the changes in white-ball cricket in England, and the journey the team has been on,” said the captain. “To have won [the 50-over World Cup] in 2019 and now win this T20 World Cup as well, it just shows the vision that people had at the start, of where we could get to as an England white-ball team – and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t go on from strength to strength.”
