England captain Jos Buttler insisted the ODI setup will not undergo a major overhaul after their dismal World Cup defence came to a conclusion with a consolation victory over Pakistan on Saturday.

England's hopes of retaining the title were long over after suffering six defeats in their first seven matches, but they managed to salvage some pride with a comprehensive 93-run win over the 1992 champions at Kolkata's Eden Gardens.

With the win, England climbed to seventh place in the points table and secured a place in the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan. "It's not going to be a drastic change of playing style, like 2015.

We know where we need to go," Buttler said. "That doesn't mean a huge clear-out, it's just pushing on from here." Winners of the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia last year, England hold both the global white-ball trophies but failed to impress in the subcontinent.
