England captain Harry Brook exudes calm amid Jos Buttler’s T20 World Cup 2026 meltdown, hailing him as white-ball cricket’s supreme talent. The 62 runs from seven games, marred by consecutive low scores, have tested patience, but Brook’s backing is resolute.
Post solid 26 (Nepal) and 21 (West Indies), Buttler managed mere 3, 3, 7, 2, and 0 against Scotland, Italy, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and New Zealand respectively. ICC stages have haunted him lately, save for a 2024 83* vs USA.
‘Stop second-guessing Buttler—recall his greatness. The best white-ball exponent ever, he’ll snap out of this soon,’ Brook emphasized, tipping the veteran for semifinal duty.
Buttler’s T20 dominance shines through: 154 games yielding 4,012 runs at 33.71 average, 147.77 strike rate, one hundred, 28 fifties. His 2022 World Cup captaincy triumph reinforces faith. With semifinals beckoning, England anticipates Buttler’s clutch performance to reignite their championship bid.
