r Jos Buttler will continue as England’s vice-captain during the World Cup, the BBC reported on Tuesday.

Buttler, who has played 49 one-day internationals and three tests, assumed the role of vice-captain during last month’s Tri-Series against Australia and India in which England reached the final.
England start their World Cup campaign against hosts Australia in Melbourne on Saturday.
