Very Confident About Skipper Buttler, Want Him To Enjoy Next Few Years, Says McCullum

ODI World Cup: Brendon McCullum said he is very confident about Jos Buttler continuing as England’s white-ball captain and wants the wicketkeeper-batter to enjoy playing the next few years.

Following two years of coaching the Test team, McCullum will start coaching England’s white-ball team from next year, with his all-format contract extended to 2027. His big challenge as white-ball head coach will be to get England back to winning major championships after failing to defend T20 and ODI World Cup titles in 12 months.

"I am very confident in Buttler as captain. What I want from Jos is for him to enjoy the next three to four years. If he retired tomorrow he would probably go down as the greatest white-ball player England have produced so there is a chance for however long he plays to not protect anything and play with a smile on his face. My job is to push him towards that,” said McCullum to reporters ahead of England’s third Test against Sri Lanka starting at The Oval on Friday.
