Buttler’s fully behind one-day captain Eoin

Jos Buttler hailed England captain Eoin Morgan as a “revolutionary” in a ringing endorsement of his leadership ahead of the second one-day international against India.

“He brings a wealth of experience. He has a vision for the game and where he wants our side to get to. He’s a fantastic leader in that sense,” said Buttler, who epitomises the full-throttle approach beloved by Morgan.

“He really champions people playing in the way they believe and he shows that in the way he plays too, which he has done for many years.

“He was one of the first revolutionary players for England and that carries a lot of weight in the group, which is a pretty young one.

“He gives guys a lot of confidence. He’s very calm under pressure and I know everyone enjoys playing for him.”

Buttler acquitted himself well as one-day skipper in Bangladesh when Morgan opted not to travel, doing his prospects of a future leadership role no harm at all on a tricky tour both on and off the field.

For the time being, though, he is more than happy to concentrate on his role with bat in hand.

“Vice-captain is a role I’ve enjoyed a under Eoin and it’s fantastic to have him back,” he said. “As a keeper, your role is always to come up with plans and advice for the captain and that’s something I’m enjoying doing. I want to be someone who wins games of cricket for England – that’s my main driving force.”
