New Delhi: The 34-year-old will captain England for the last time in their final group-stage game against South Africa on Saturday. England have suffered 15 losses in their last 21 one-day internationals, including setbacks against Australia and Afghanistan, which brought an end to their Champions Trophy run.
The 34-year-old, who will captain England for the last time on Saturday, faced intense backlash after his team was eliminated from the ongoing Champions Trophy following an eight-run defeat to Afghanistan. This marked the second major failure under Buttler’s leadership at a 50-over ICC event. In 2023, England had been eliminated in the first round of the ODI World Cup held in India.
