Jos Buttler

Long established as one of the game’s most accomplished limited-overs batsmen, England’s vice-captain took things to a new level during his career-best effort in Grenada. Motoring from 51 to 150 in just 31 deliveries, he put every bowler on the circuit on notice as his long, clean strokes saw him clear the ropes a dozen times.

David Willey and Joe Denly

England’s peripheral men must have been hoping for the opportunity to press their case ahead of next month’s squad announcement but neither got a run-out in a hard-fought series. Both will now be looking over their shoulders uncertainly and will be looking to the three T20s to restate their claims.
