Jos Buttler is done with talking.

It is 205 days since England's dismal 50-over World Cup defence ended in Kolkata.

Buttler will have spent the next five months trying to forget it.

For the past two weeks, either side of attending the birth of his third child, he has been asked what he learned from that tournament.

"I am focused on this World Cup," a terse Buttler said on Monday.

Buttler's England are in Barbados where they play Scotland on Tuesday, hoping to make a better fist of the defence of the world T20 crown they won in Melbourne in 2022.

Their hopes have been boosted by the return of bowler Jofra Archer, who is set to play an international in the country of his birth for the first time.

The youthful swagger of Phil Salt, another with Barbadian roots, and Will Jacks gives England a fresh look from the side that struggled in India last autumn, while Buttler and others found form in the Indian Premier League in recent months.

Momentum was also gained with two victories against Pakistan in the past 10 days amid the washouts.

It leaves a settled side with the toss up between Mark Wood’s express pace and Reece Topley’s left-arm variation the only selection question.

However, Buttler was in no mood to give anything away.
