England’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign has been eventful, with Jos Buttler, now free from leadership duties, reminiscing about England’s white-ball evolution since their 2015 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup exit. The defending champions narrowly defeated Nepal but faced a 30-run loss to the West Indies, setting the stage for upcoming matches against Scotland and Italy.
Buttler highlighted England’s shift towards aggressive and positive cricket, a change that has influenced players nationwide. The team’s resilience was notably tested in the 2016 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final against the West Indies, a loss that spurred them towards future success, including winning the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and the 2022 T20 World Cup.
As a key figure in England’s white-ball setup, Buttler acknowledged the impact of his predecessor, Eoin Morgan, in elevating English cricket. Taking over the captaincy, Buttler led England to T20 World Cup victory in 2022, marking a significant milestone in their cricketing journey.
