Buttler unfazed by ODI whitewash in Australia

England white-ball captain Jos Buttler is unfazed by their 3-0 whitewash in Australia and has urged the administrators to make sure bilateral cricket remains relevant.

Nine days after beating Pakistan in the final of the T20 World Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the England one-day squad suffered a 221-run spanking on Tuesday as Australia swept the three-match series.

“It was always going to be a tough series for us, coming off the back of the World Cup,” Buttler told the BBC. “Any time England play Australia you want to put up good performances, but it’s just been hard.”
