Jos Buttler discusses impact of McCullum's sacking on England's World Cup hopes

Jos Buttler stated that the sacking of Brendon McCullum as Test coach could enhance England's chances at the upcoming World Cup. McCullum was dismissed in July but continues to lead the white-ball team, which won series against India and Sri Lanka this summer. Buttler believes that McCullum can now concentrate solely on one-day international cricket, allowing for a more focused preparation for the tournament in southern Africa. Currently recovering from a hamstring injury, Buttler will miss the tri-series in Pakistan, with his participation in the November tour of Australia still uncertain.
