There's no stopping record breaker Jos

JOS Buttler says it is “surreal” to have made the most appearances for England and he has no plans to stop any time soon.
The 35-year-old, who made his international debut in a T20 against India in 2011, passed James Anderson’s tally of England matches with his 402nd cap against Sri Lanka on Sunday.
Buttler has played 57 Tests, 199 ODIs and now 146 T20 matches and was instrumental in the 2019 World Cup win on home soil and captained England to the 2022 T20 World Cup.
“I'm really proud to have played that many games. It’s been an awesome journey,” Buttler said.
“To think of that kid who would have just bit your hand off for one game for England, to have played 400 is awesome. It’s a bit surreal. That hunger and desire to play for England is always strong and burns bright.
“I'm just proud of myself, really, to be able to play for that long, have the resilience to come back from tough times, have the desire to get better and improve and keep turning up and working hard.”
