Buttler - playing his first one-day international on Thursday since December 2023 - said: ‘I still think if you talk to guys about winning a World Cup, they'd probably say a 50-over World Cup ahead of a T20 World Cup at the moment.
‘Probably just the history of it. It’s a longer, harder challenge to win it. The last World Cup, India fell at the final hurdle, but they won 10 games, so it’s a great effort to go that long. T20 World Cup is a bit shorter and there’s maybe a bit more jeopardy in it.
"In T20 one guy can have a day out and win a game but in ODIs you normally need a few more guys to contribute to a win.’
