The Pakistan cricket team's disappointing show at the Cricket World Cup 2023 continued on Friday as they were defeated by South Africa in a thriller at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Jos Buttler's One-Word Reply On Concerns Over England Captaincy In Cricket World Cup 2023

A defiant Jos Buttler insists he is still the man to captain England despite presiding over a doomed World Cup campaign. England suffered an eight-wicket trouncing on Thursday at the hands of Sri Lanka who chased down a meagre 157-run target with almost 25 overs to spare.

Three of those games are against undefeated two-time champions India, five-time winners Australia and 1992 champions Pakistan. When asked if he is still the man to lead his country the 33-year-old simply replied: "Yeah".
