Buttler Bounces Back: England Captain Smiles Again as He Shines in Caribbean

English cricket is breathing a collective sigh of relief following Jos Buttler's resurgent form in the T20 series against West Indies. The captain, who had been struggling with his batting and fielding positions, has finally found his groove, and it's a joy to behold.

McCallum's Effect: New Coach Breeds Change

According to coach Brendon McCullum, one of Jos Buttler's main objectives was to bring some cheer back into the England captain's life. The change in attitude comes after a poor run by Buttler following his calf injury. It appears that McCullum's strategy has paid off.

A Smiling Face Returns

Buttler looks like he's finally found a sense of fulfillment playing for England, which has been evident in his blistering 83 from just 45 balls. Despite losing two World Cup titles in the past year, Buttler is focusing on playing "incredibly fulfilling" cricket and enjoying every moment.

The Change Behind the Wickets

Dropping down to No 3 in the batting order has allowed Will Jacks a chance to open with England, and handing over wicketkeeping duties to Phil Salt has also helped calm any worries. Furthermore, the change has been influenced by McCullum's own experience of ditching gloves due to back issues.

T20 Ton Up

In his recent T20 innings, Buttler had 8 fours and 6 sixes against West Indies at Kensington Oval, leaving bowlers wishing he hadn't come back to knock them around. With the likes of Stokes, Root, Wood, and Woakes looking into the ICC Champions Trophy early next year, there is hope that their experience might solve England's 50-over woes but for now, they need a series win in St Lucia this week.
