Vaughan backs England captain

-

London: England captain Jos Buttler did not do anything wrong when he reacted angrily during the second one-day internatio­nal against Bangladesh, says former skipper Michael Vaughan. Buttler was reprimande­d for reacting to what he called a “send-off ” by Bangladesh after his dismissal. The 26-year-old was out lbw as England, chasing 238, were all out for 204. “He didn’t react because he was captain - he thought Bangladesh stepped on his turf,” Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 live. “I don’t think he did anything wrong. When the opposition comes at you what are you to do?” Buttler and some Bangladesh players were seen approachin­g each other after the wicket - which came off a review - and the umpires had to step in.
