Jos Buttler steps down as England captain
28/02/2025
He will quit after Saturday’s game against South Africa
Jos Buttler has announced he will resign as England’s white-ball captain after their Champions Trophy dead rubber against South Africa on Saturday.
England’s group stage exit at the Champions Trophy – a third flop at a major tournament in the last 18 months, having relinquished both white-ball World Cups – left Buttler considering his position.
The 34-year-old, who succeeded Eoin Morgan in June 2022 and led England to T20 World Cup glory later that year, has come to a quick resolution about his future and he will step aside after their last Group B contest in Karachi.
“I’m going to stand down as England captain, it’s the right decision for me and the team,” he said.
