Buttler Commits To In-depth Review Following England's T20 World Cup Departure

England captain Jos Buttler has vowed to conduct a thorough review following their T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to India. The defending champions were bowled out for 103, resulting in a 68-run loss. This defeat marks the second world title England have lost in the past eight months, after their disappointing defence of the 50-over World Cup last year.

Reflecting on the loss, Buttler stated, "You take some time to review tournaments and try to plan ahead for the next tournaments." He emphasised the need to evaluate various aspects such as team performance, playing style, and personnel. "We will review everything and come up with a plan," he added.

India, who have not won a World Cup for 13 years, will face first-time finalists South Africa in Barbados. Both teams remain unbeaten in the tournament. Buttler replaced Eoin Morgan as England's white-ball captain in 2022 and led them to their T20 World Cup success in Australia later that year.

Buttler hinted at his desire to continue as captain until the Champions Trophy in Pakistan next February. However, he admitted, "I am not thinking too far ahead to be honest and reflecting on the loss today, trying to review that. I haven't thought past today."

England's next challenge is a three-match Test series against West Indies, starting on July 10. The team aims to bounce back from their recent setbacks and regain their winning form.
