Jos Buttler has expressed hope that England’s T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to India will not mark the end of his international career, though he acknowledged there are no guarantees of selection for the upcoming white-ball series in July.

Buttler endured a difficult campaign at the World Cup, scoring just 87 runs across eight innings, and has managed only one half-century in his last four ICC tournaments. However, with 18 months still remaining on his ECB central contract, he remains optimistic about his chances of featuring when England host India for five T20Is and three ODIs during the home summer.

"I hope so. I don't know. Obviously I had a poor tournament, which is disappointing, but I've been playing some of the best cricket of my [career] in recent years, so hopefully I can get back to playing my best. I certainly have ambitions [to continue playing for England] but no longer being a captain, I'm not a selector and whatever, so what will be will be. Yeah, we will see,” said Buttler on his podcast ‘For the Love of Cricket’.

Buttler added that he spent a week in the mountains with his family in France to switch off from cricket after returning from the World Cup. He is set to travel back to India on Saturday to begin preparations for the IPL season with Gujarat Titans.
