Karachi: Jos Buttler on Friday said he will step down as England white-ball captain after their last Champions Trophy group match against South Africa on Saturday, taking responsibility for his team’s exit from the eight-team tournament.

England crashed out of the eight-team Champions Trophy after losing to Afghanistan on Wednesday. They play against South Africa in their last Group B match here on Saturday.

“I’m going to stand down as England captain. It’s the right decision for me and the team,” the 34-year-old Buttler said at a press conference here.

“It’s quite clear. This tournament was important, results-wise, for my captaincy, and obviously, two losses and being out of the tournament, with a bit of a hangover from past tournaments, I think it just probably reached the end of the road for me and my captaincy, which is a shame,” he said.

After taking over as white-ball captain in June 2022 following the retirement of Eoin Morgan, Buttler led England to glory in that year’s T20 World Cup in Australia.

However, his tenure also saw two disappointing title defences — the 2023 50-over World Cup in India where England failed to make the semifinals after losing to Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

In the T20 World Cup, they lost to the eventual winners India in the semifinal in the Caribbean last year.

“It’s the right decision for me, for the team. Hopefully, somebody else can come in and work closely alongside Baz (coach Brendon McCullum) to take the team back to where it needs to be,” he added.

Buttler has captained England in 44 ODIs, securing 18 wins and 25 losses, and recording one no result. His T20 record is slightly better, with 26 wins, 22 losses, and three no results from 51 matches.

“With Brendon coming in recently, I was really excited to work closely alongside him and hoped for a very quick turnaround to take the team forward. But it’s not quite worked out that way. So, yeah, it just feels like it’s the right time for me and also for the team to have a change,” he said.

No retirement yet

Buttler, however, said there is no retirement in the pipeline for him as he wants to “get back to really enjoying” his cricket.

“Maybe in time, it will be… I think sort of overriding emotions are still there, sort of sadness and and disappointment, but I’m sure in time that will pass.

“I can get back to really enjoy my cricket, and also I’ll be able to reflect on what an immense honour it is to captain your country and all the special things that come with it.”
