Buttler Hopeful of England Return

  • On Mar 18, 2026, Jos Buttler admitted uncertainty over his immediate future after England men's cricket team’s T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to India, with no guarantees for the next white-ball series in July.
  • Statistically, Buttler's campaign featured just 87 runs across eight innings and one half-century across his last four ICC events.
  • Switching off with family, Buttler spent a week in the mountains of France and will travel back to India on Saturday for the IPL season with Gujarat Titans.
  • Buttler retains 18 months on his England and Wales Cricket Board contract and targets a return before England's home series against India with five T20Is and three ODIs.
  • Buttler defended England's management, praising Harry Brook and Brendon McCullum's 'fantastic environment' and calling India 'a serious team' and 'worthy winners' while admitting he doesn’t fully know what went wrong.
