Jos Buttler’s big statement: England captain Jos Buttler admitted after the defeat against Sri Lanka that the tournament has been very disappointing for him. The team is at ninth position among 10 teams in the points table. Butler said that it has been a very tough and disappointing tournament. I am disappointed with myself and all the players that they could not perform as per expectations. There is no clear answer to this at this time. He further said that we have very experienced cricketers, full of confidence. You don’t become a bad player overnight, you don’t become a bad team overnight. I think that’s the biggest frustration that we haven’t been able to play to our best potential yet and there’s no clear reason for that. Can’t point fingers at anyone at this time.
