Jos Buttler stepped down from his captaincy..!?

A captain gave a wicket for the failure of the Champions Trophy. Despite playing well, luck did not come his way, and the team's exit from the league stage hurt him. England's limited-overs cricket captain Jos Buttler has said goodbye to his position. Buttler relinquished the captaincy following the 2023 ODI world cup in india, the recent tour of india, and consecutive defeats in the Champions Trophy. Buttler, who took over the leadership responsibilities from Eoin Morgan, who won the ODI world cup on home soil in 2019, in june 2022, initially led the team well. He also delivered the 2022 t20 World Cup. However, the team has been facing regular defeats in T20s and ODIs for the past two years. england, who entered the 2023 ODI world cup in india in a complete league format, had a terrible performance as the defending champions. They won only 3 out of 9 matches. They settled for 7th place in the points table.
In the 2024 t20 world cup, england entered the tournament as the defending champions and reached the semi-finals. They lost to india in the semi-finals. england lost to australia in their first match of the Champions Trophy despite scoring 351 runs. They lost to afghanistan by a narrow margin in the chase of a target of 325 runs. This led to bad luck. They left the tournament. With this, Buttler stepped down from the leadership. It is believed that young batsman Harry Brook will be appointed as England's ODI and t20 captain. Brook was the vice-captain in the Champions Trophy. However, Buttler announced that he would step down from the captaincy after the final league match of the Champions Trophy against south africa on Saturday. He made it clear that he would continue in the team.

The england team selected for the Champions Trophy did not have the right bowling line-up. Pacer Archer performed well, but Mark Wood was left out. All-rounder Atkinson did not impress as the third pacer. england went home after players like Livingston failed in batting. The host pakistan team performed atrociously in the Champions Trophy. They returned without a single win. While the team's captain Rizwan was expected to resign, england captain Buttler resigned.
