England captain Jos Buttler described his team\u2019s thumping ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 loss to Sri Lanka on Thursday as a \u201chuge low point\u201d with the team\u2019s title defence in tatters and their hopes of reaching the semi-finals all but over.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot was expected of England heading into the tournament after their 2019 heroics on home soil but the team have failed to deliver and the eight-wicket thrashing at Bangalore\u2019s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was their third straight loss and fourth overall.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a really good team, done a lot of good things in the recent past in white-ball cricket and 50-over cricket,\u201d Jos Buttler told reporters. \u201cWe get on the plane with high hopes and a lot of confidence and belief that we can challenge for the title.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, to be sat here\u2026 is a shock to everyone. I\u2019ll walk back in the dressing room after this and look at the players sat there and think how we found ourselves in this position with the talent and the skill that\u2019s in the room. But it\u2019s the position we\u2019re in, it\u2019s the reality of what\u2019s happened over the last three weeks and that\u2019s a huge low point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Questions will inevitably be asked about Jos Buttler\u2019s captaincy but he said he was the right man to lead the team through their current struggles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you\u2019re always questioning as captain how you can get the best out of players, how you can get the team moving in the right direction. I certainly have a lot of confidence and belief in myself as a leader and captain and first and foremost as a player, but if you\u2019re asking if I should still be captaining the team, that\u2019s a question for the guys above me,\u201d Jos Buttler said.<\/p>\n

England face the daunting task of playing unbeaten hosts India on Sunday and Buttler said they were determined to get back to playing good cricket.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like it could need a few miracles that we\u2019d have to win every game and things go our way to progress further in this tournament. But for the games that we have left, we want to play the cricket we know we can play,\u201d Jos Buttler said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
