As quoted by Sky Sports he said, "It's this easy to be captain hindsight. Say you got XYZ wrong, when if you don't play well eugh to try and implement your plan, decisions can maybe become a little bit irrelevant. I always think of Ben Stokes' words to Jofra about super over: whatever happens here doesn't define you and I certainly don't feel like that World Cup is defining moment for me.
