England white-ball captain Jos Buttler revealed in an ECB video that he is changing his name. Full name Joseph Charles Buttler, the wicketkeeper batter has been going by his shortened name of Jos since he began playing cricket.
England Cricket shared a video in which Buttler is seen explaining how people have misspelled and mispronounced his name, including his mother.
“Hi there. I’m England white ball captain Jos Buttler. But for my entire life, I’ve been white-ball wrong name. From people on the street to my mum and in my birthday card. Dear Josh, you’re getting old. Happy birthday. Lots of Love, Mum,” Buttler said.
Buttler also revealed how his name was even spelled wrong on his MBE medal.
“Even my MBE was wrong. So after 13 years representing my country and two World Cup wins, it’s time to finally fix the problem. To solve the problem once and for all, I am officially Josh Buttler,” he said.
The video ended with the producer calling Buttler Jos not Josh and the England white-ball captain threw away his pen in disgust
“Okay guys, that’s a cut. Thanks, Jos!” said the producer.
Here is the video:
Just to be sure, this was a prank video done by England Cricket and Jos Buttler on April 1st, the World’s April Fool's day.
