Captain buttler

T20 World Cup: With defending champions England staring at an early exit from the Men’s T20 World Cup, former captain Nasser Hussain believes skipper Jos Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott are in a vulnerable state.

England need to win over Namibia and Oman to give themselves the best chance of entering the Super Eight stage of the ongoing competition. But that may not be enough for qualification as Scotland and Australia will play the final game of Group B.

If England make an early exit from the competition, then it will add to the intense scrutiny over the Buttler and Mott combination. Under the duo, England failed to enter the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup semi-finals in India, after winning just three out of nine games in an utterly forgettable campaign.
