Retirement soon? Jos Buttler makes honest admission after horrible T20 World Cup

NEW DELHI: Former England captain Jos Buttler has admitted he had a disappointing T20 World Cup but insists his international career is not over. The experienced batter scored just 87 runs in eight innings as England cricket team reached the semi-finals before losing to India cricket team. Despite the setback, he believes he can return to his best form.Reflecting on his performance, Buttler said, "Obviously I had a poor tournament, which is disappointing," but remained hopeful, adding, "But I have been playing some of the best cricket of my (career) in recent years, so hopefully I can get back to playing my best." He also made it clear he still wants to play for England, saying, "I certainly have ambitions (to play for England again), but no longer being a captain, I am not a selector and whatever, so what will be, will be."After the World Cup, Buttler took a break in France with his family to mentally reset. "I couldn't have been further away from cricket, which for me at the time was just perfect," he said, explaining the need to step back. He added, "It is exactly what I needed," he continued. The break helped him reflect on his game and mindset. "It was really refreshing, I really enjoyed it, a complete sort of release," he said. Accepting that things didn’t go his way, Buttler concluded, "It wasn’t for a lack of effort, it just didn't quite happen."
