Malan, the 11th ranked T20I batter, Phil Salt is the second, while Buttler stands on 9th only rank higher than Malan. But Malan's future to feature English team seems unlikely to be happened after his poor outing in the ICC men's Cricket world cup in India. Malan will turn 37 in September but believes he's still young to be able to play for England in their title defence tournament in the USA and West Indies from June 1st.

"I'd like to be," Malan said, when asked if he was in consideration to defend the T20 title he contributed to two years ago. "I wouldn't say performance would have anything to do with it. In 2023, I had a pretty good year in 50-over cricket and I wouldn't say I'm old, considering Jimmy [Anderson] is 42 or something like that! I can't see it being an age thing, and there's a tournament in a few months' time."

"Obviously I know they might want to go in a different direction. That's absolutely fine. They're entitled to do whatever they need to do that they think is the best way to move English cricket in the right direction. I still feel I'm good enough and young enough to do it. That's out of my control, selection-wise."

"I have no idea what they are thinking at the moment," he said. "We have got appraisals in 12 or 14 days so I'll probably find out a bit more then. I will just take it as it comes. I am not looking too far ahead or wanting something that might not be there."

"If it is, it is; if it isn't, it isn't. I have made peace with that. I have a different path that I am looking at at the moment in terms of the last two or three years in my career and if things pop up, they pop up. And if they don't, they don't. It'll be interesting to see where things are and, yeah, it'll be good to have a good chat with Keysy."

Dawid Malan played 62 T20I's for England and scored 1,892 runs at an average of 36.38 and a strike rate of 132.49. He smashed 16 fifties and has a solitary hundred to his name in the shortest version of the game.
