Jos Buttler has stepped down as England’s white-ball captain after they exited the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in the group stage. England’s final Group B game against South Africa on Saturday (March 1) will be Jos Buttler’s final game as England skipper in white-ball format.  

England had lost the T20I series against India 1-4 before being whitewashed the 0-3 by the same opponent in the ODIs. Coming into the ICC Champions Trophy, England were in a lot of pressure. 

However, the two-time runners-up failed to meet the expectations as they lost to Australia and Afghanistan to bow out of the semifinal race. “It’s the right time for me and the team,” said Jos Buttler, according to BBC.

“Jos Buttler presided over our 2022 T20 World Cup winning campaign in Australia and will continue to make himself available for selection,” England cricket said in a statement.
