I don’t want to make any emotional decisions: Jos Buttler

Notably, England finished 7th on the table in the 2023 ODI World Cup and then they are also yet to make it to the WTC Final.

Jos Buttler on England’s CT 2025 campaign: “Disappointing to be knocked out of the tournament early. We had our chances in the game, and we didn’t take them. Joe Root played an unbelievable innings, and we needed one of the top six batters to stay with him. The last 10 overs got away from us a bit. I’m disappointed with my form, but I don’t want to make any emotional decisions.”
