Jos Buttler reflects on a disappointing 50-over World Cup and insists he was always going to return as England captain

Jos Buttler says England have the players to push the team forward at the T20 World Cup and insists he was always going to remain as captain even after England's disappointing performance in the 50-over tournament. Despite pulling players back from Indian Premier League duty, Wednesday's first T20I against Pakistan was abandoned without a ball being bowled, much to the frustration of the returning Buttler. 'Everyone was really excited for this series.

It was obviously a really disappointing World Cup, and your pride's dented, your confidence gets dented a bit, but time moves on and there's a really exciting opportunity now.' Although the side's preparation has been curtailed with the first T20I washed out, which continues on Saturday at Edgbaston, live on Sky Sports, Buttler believes he has the team to get results when the World Cup begins on June 1. 'I think we've got a really nice, blended squad, actually.
