Buttler credited for West Indies T20 win
England's Jamie Overton (centre) and Rehan Ahmed celebrated defeating West Indies by 3 wicket with 3 balls remaining during the third T20 cricket match at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia, November 14, 2024

SAQIB MAHMOOD paid tribute to the “amazing” captaincy of Jos Buttler after the fast bowler helped England guarantee a T20 series victory over the West Indies in St Lucia.

Buttler’s position has been under the microscope following the surrender of both limited-overs World Cups in the last 12 months, with scrutiny especially on some gut calls that backfired spectacularly.

He has continued in the role and vowed to “really, really enjoy” the remainder of his career, with the 34-year-old giving up the wicketkeeper gloves in the Caribbean to be closer to his bowlers.
