Jos Buttler intends to use England\u2019s World Cup misery to fuel him for the rest of his career but he insisted the humbling campaign \u201cdoesn\u2019t define me as a person or my whole career\u201d.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s defence of the title they won to much acclaim in 2019 was a debacle, with Buttler not making a single fifty and averaging 15.33 in nine group-stage matches as his form completely deserted him.<\/p>\n

Three weeks on from their final game of a grizzly trip to India, Buttler is on the road again and looking to wipe the slate clean as he leads a new-look England side on a white-ball tour of the West Indies, starting with the first of three ODIs on Sunday in Antigua.<\/p>\n

Having taken a few painful lessons from the past few weeks, Buttler is adamant he is as committed as ever to get England back to being the standard-bearers in the limited-overs formats going forwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got to use it as motivation and hunger to push myself and the team forward,\u201d the England white-ball captain said. \u201cUse it as a positive experience to go into the rest of my career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still feel incredibly motivated and excited and it\u2019s nice to be around some of the younger guys who are desperate to do well and, as a more senior player, it gives you a lot of energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had one bad tournament. We have been in a great place for a long time and you see the depth of talent of guys coming through and you want to help shape that period of white-ball cricket.<\/p>\n

Any time that you get challenged and get pushed back, it certainly lights a few fires and motivates you. I should be in an even better place moving forward than I have been<\/p>\n

\u201cAny time that you get challenged and get pushed back, it certainly lights a few fires and motivates you. I should be in an even better place moving forward than I have been.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott inevitably drew plenty of criticism for finishing seventh out of 10 teams in the subcontinent but the pair have been backed fully by director of men\u2019s cricket Rob Key.<\/p>\n

Having had time to digest what happened, Buttler retains a pragmatic outlook and reminds himself of team-mate Ben Stokes\u2019 now memorable line to Jofra Archer before the pivotal super over in the 2019 World Cup final.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving good people around you, people who are close to you, that keeps some perspective on life and on cricket,\u201d the double World Cup winner said. \u201cIt\u2019s meant to be hard at times, right?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re playing international cricket events against the best players in the world and they\u2019ve all got the same ambitions as we have so there\u2019s going to be times when it\u2019s not easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s this easy to be captain hindsight. Say you got XYZ wrong, when if you don\u2019t play well enough to try and implement your plan, the decisions can maybe become a little bit irrelevant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always think of Ben Stokes\u2019 words to Jofra about the super over: whatever happens here doesn\u2019t define you and I certainly don\u2019t feel like that World Cup is the defining moment for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a huge disappointment but it doesn\u2019t define me as a person or my whole career. So, just use it as something to make sure I look forward now and enjoy the challenges ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife moves on, the world moves on pretty fast. There\u2019s always something to look forward to. It\u2019s never as bad as you think it is and it\u2019s never as good as you think it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buttler did not reveal his XI for what is being dubbed by some as a reset as they build towards the 2025 Champions Trophy and 2027 World Cup but Will Jacks and Phil Salt are set to open the batting.<\/p>\n

Neither player received a central contract a few weeks ago but they have an opportunity to push their case for more regular involvement alongside the likes of Rehan Ahmed, John Turner and Matthew Potts.<\/p>\n

Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse have followed Buttler to the Caribbean from the World Cup, while a 15-strong squad is bolstered by Test regulars Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s certainly a bit of a new beginning,\u201d Buttler added. \u201cThere\u2019s some really exciting talent in this team. There\u2019s a nice blend, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some great energy around the guys and the Caribbean is a nice place to start this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
