Buttler made his T20I debut in 2011, his ODI debut in 2012, and his Test debut in 2014. He was the vice-captain and a crucial member of the England team that won the 2019 Cricket World Cup, and made the run out during the Super Over which sealed victory in the final. He was appointed captain of England's limited-overs teams in June 2022. He captained England to victory at the 2022 T20 World Cup, top-scoring for his country at the tournament. Buttler plays as a right-handed wicket-keeper-batsman and is England's most-capped T20I player. Along with Adil Rashid, he holds the world record for highest seventh-wicket stand in ODIs: 177 against New Zealand during their 2015 tour of England. He is England's highest run-scorer in T20Is, and is one of only two Englishmen to score multiple T20I centuries.
