England’s white-ball captain Jos Buttler has officially resigned, and it marks the end of an era for England’s national team. Buttler, who has been the captain of England in both ODIs and T20Is, will resign after the team’s last Champions Trophy group match against South Africa.
The move follows a series of underwhelming performances, with England struggling to sustain their dominance in limited-overs cricket. Under Buttler’s captaincy, the team registered significant successes, including their 2022 T20 World Cup triumph, but recent inconsistency has generated rumors of a leadership change.
Referring to his resignation, Buttler said he was proud to have captained England but acknowledged that it was the time for a new captain to take over. “It has been an honor, but I think fresh leadership will assist in driving the team forward,” he stated.
With Buttler resigning, England’s cricket board will now start looking for a new captain, with possible successors such as Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, and Sam Curran in the running. England supporters will be keenly observing as the team attempts to rebuild and restore its winning form.
