Jos Buttler Steps Down As England’s White-ball Captain Following CT Debacle
Buttler was appointed as Eoin Morgan's successor in June 2022 and won the T20 World Cup in Australia later that year. The 34-year-old announced the decision in the pre-game conference on Friday. "I am going to step down as England captain, it’s the right decision for me and the team. Hopefully, somebody else can come in and work alongside Baz to take the team to where it needs to be.
“It’s quite clear that this tournament was going to be important in regards to my captaincy and two losses out of the tournament, with the hangover of some of the tournaments before. I reached the end of the rope for my captaincy, and it's a shame; I am sad about it. With Brendon (McCullum) coming in, I was excited to work alongside him and take the team forward, but it has not worked out that way, so it feels like it's the right time for a change,” said Buttler.
