Jos Buttler made headlines by setting a remarkable record when he was named in England's playing XI for the second T20I against Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, February 1. The iconic wicketkeeper-batter has now surpassed James Anderson's record for the most international matches played for England. This second T20I marks Buttler's 402nd match for the Three Lions across all formats, while Anderson wraps up his career with 401 appearances for England. Not only is Buttler England's most capped player in international cricket, but he also holds the title of the leading run-scorer for the country in the T20 format. For those who might not know, the world record for the most international appearances belongs to former India captain Sachin Tendulkar, who played an impressive 664 matches for India from 1989 to 2013, amassing a staggering 34,357 runs and taking 201 wickets.

He made his international debut in August 2011 against India, and one of the standout moments of his career came during the 2022 T20 World Cup, where he captained England to victory over Pakistan in the final. Buttler Ready for T20 World Cup After Strong T20I Start Looking ahead, Buttler will participate in the upcoming T20 World Cup, but this time as a wicketkeeper-batter, having stepped down from captaincy after last year's Champions Trophy, with Harry Brook taking over the reins.

England clinched that match by 11 runs using the DLS method in a rain-shortened 17-over contest in Pallekele. As for the series, England aims to secure another win against Sri Lanka on Sunday. The hosts have set a solid target of 189/5 after Brook won the toss and opted to bowl first.
