Jos Buttler Resigns as England’s White-Ball Captain After Champions Trophy 2025 Exit
The England cricket team is in crisis after their shocking exit from the Champions Trophy 2025, leading to Jos Buttler’s resignation as the white-ball captain. England’s poor performance in the tournament has triggered major concerns within the team management, with reports of potential leadership changes and squad restructuring.

Buttler, who led England in ODIs and T20Is, took responsibility for the team’s underwhelming display, stating that stepping down was in the best interest of the team. Under his leadership, England struggled to make an impact in the Champions Trophy, failing to qualify for the knockout stages.

His resignation has left a leadership void, and England’s cricket board is now searching for a new captain to take charge ahead of the upcoming international fixtures. Speculations are already circulating about possible replacements, with senior players like Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, and Jos Buttler’s deputy emerging as potential candidates.

This unexpected development marks a significant turning point for England’s white-ball cricket, with fans and analysts questioning the team’s future strategy. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is expected to make an official announcement regarding Buttler’s successor soon.

With Champions Trophy 2025 proving to be a disastrous campaign for England, the team now faces the challenge of rebuilding ahead of future tournaments, including the T20 World Cup and the next ICC ODI series.
