Jos Buttler Resigns as England ODI Captain After Champions Trophy Exit
England crashed out of the Champions Trophy 2025 in the group stage after a humiliating defeat against Afghanistan. With this loss, England’s campaign in the tournament came to an early end, continuing their disappointing performance in ICC tournaments. Following this setback, England ODI captain Jos Buttler has resigned from his position.
In a major development during the Champions Trophy 2025, former World Cup-winning captain Jos Buttler announced his resignation. Buttler made this decision after England’s poor performance in the tournament, where they lost their first two matches, including a shocking defeat to Afghanistan. This loss confirmed England’s elimination, and ahead of their final group match, Buttler announced that he would step down as captain.
Jos Buttler made the announcement at a press conference alongside England’s head coach Brendon McCullum. Under Buttler’s leadership, England has lost nine of their last 10 ODIs. Before the Champions Trophy, England also suffered a one-sided defeat in a three-match ODI series against India.
Despite stepping down, Buttler will lead England one last time in their final group-stage match against South Africa. Under his captaincy, England struggled in ODI cricket, facing an early exit in both the 2023 ODI World Cup and now the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Jos Buttler’s ODI Captaincy Record
- Matches: 43
- Wins: 18
- Losses: 25
Success in T20 Cricket
While Buttler faced challenges in ODIs, he found success in the T20 format. Under his leadership, England won the 2022 T20 World Cup. They also reached the semi-finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup, where they were eliminated by India.
