England captain Jos Buttler believes his squad will be better equipped to retain their T20 World Cup title after a miserable defence of their 50-over crown in India last year.
England will be one of the favourites for the 2024 World Cup in the Caribbean and the United States after beating Pakistan in the final in Australia two years ago. But it was a similar story when many of the same players, Buttler included, travelled to India for the 50-over World Cup only for England to lose six of their first seven matches. Those reverses included a nine-wicket defeat by New Zealand in their tournament opener, a historic maiden loss to Afghanistan and a record 229-run thrashing by South Africa.
