Joseph Charles Buttler 

MBE (born 8 September 1990) is an

English international cricketer and current vice-captain of

the England cricket team in limited overs cricket.[1] He is

considered by some to be England's best white ball batsman of

all time.[2] A right-handed batsman, Buttler usually fields as

a wicket-keeper and has represented England in Test, One Day

International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket.

Buttler served as vice-captain of the England squad during

the 2019 Cricket World Cup, where England became world

champions for the first time in their history. [3][4] Buttler

currently plays for Lancashire in English domestic cricket,

having previously represented Somerset,[5] and also appears

for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.[6] Holding

the record for the fastest ODI century by an England player,

Buttler is regarded as one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen in

the world.[7][8]
 Buttler enjoyed a prolific cricket record while at school, sharing

a record-breaking opening partnership while at King's College,

Taunton in 2008. The following season, his school lost only one

of seventeen matches under his captaincy and he was named

2010 Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year. He made his

Somerset first-team debut in 2009 after having played age-

group cricket for the county. His performances led him to be

selected to play for England at Under-19 level before he made

his senior England debut in 2011 and his Test debut in 2014.

Buttler's ability to recognise and manipulate field placements of

opposing teams and score all around the ground has seen him

labelled as a "360-degree" cricketer.[9][10][11]
