England batsman Jos Buttler is hoping to make a big impact at the upcoming World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka, after coming of age against South Africa.
The big-hitting 22-year-old smashed 32 not out from a mere ten balls against the Proteas as England won the third 20 international at Edgbaston on Wednesday and that innings has given Buttler a much-needed boost.
Having previously recorded a best of 13 in six innings, Buttler said: "International cricket hasn't quite gone as I'd have hoped, but days like that are really pleasing and give me a lot of confidence for Sri Lanka.
"It was an innings I was desperate to play in an England shirt. I could take confidence from what I've done for Somerset, but to do it on the international stage is a really proud moment.
"It's nice to repay the faith that people have shown in you."
England head to Sri Lanka as the defending champions and are8.00to triumph again, with Buttler9.00to be their leading batsman.
Stuart Broad's men have been drawn in Group A alongside India and Afghanistan and are2.40to top the group. Their bid for glory starts on Friday 21st January against Afghanistan in Colombo.
