BENGALURU - A defiant Jos Buttler insists he is still the man to captain England despite presiding over a doomed World Cup campaign.
"I certainly have a lot of confidence and belief in myself as a leader and captain 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."Buttler has been in charge since June last year when he succeeded Eoin Morgan who led England to victory at the 2019 World Cup.In India, however, England have looked predictable and tired - on Thursday, all of their starting eleven were over the age of 30.
"We've been short of our best by a very long way. I'm disappointed for myself and the boys that we've not shown a good account of ourselves.
