Limited overs skipper Jos Buttler has expressed his desire to continue leading England in both the white-ball formats despite a dismal ODI World Cup campaign.

Rob Key, the managing director of England's men's cricket, will join the side in India at the end of the week.
Apart from discussing what went wrong for England, Key will select the squads for next month's white ball tour of West Indies, including three ODIs and five T20Is and decision on Buttler and Matthew Mott's future as captain and coach could also be taken.
"Yeah, I'd like to (captain the side in the white-ball tour next month). I know Rob Key arrives into India today, I think. So, yeah, we can have some good conversations with him and the coach and everyone and make a plan for that tour," Buttler said on Wednesday.
Buttler has been woefully out of form in the ongoing tournament with many believing the England captaincy is weighing him down. He has admitted that it has been frustrating not to score runs.
