England white-ball captain Jos Buttler feels all the competing teams in the ICC T20 World Cup have to come to terms with the fact that, at the end of the day, it is a ruthless format where one loss is enough to eliminate the best side, and added that the only thing in a team's control is to "learn" and get "better".

England also learned the lesson in the most painful way last year when, after playing some amazing games under Eoin Morgan's captaincy, they got eliminated in the semifinal in the 2021 edition of the T20 World Cup by New Zealand. Asked, how does he prepare himself and his team mentally for such kind of a competition, Buttler said, there is no choice but to accept the fickleness of the format.
