Jos Buttler has resigned as England’s white-ball captain following his side’s Champions Trophy exit.

The 34-year-old will lead England for the final time in their last group match against South Africa on Saturday.

England have lost 15 of their last 21 one-day internationals, including defeats against Australia and Afghanistan that ended their Champions Trophy campaign.

“It’s the right time for me and the team,” said Buttler.

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, he oversaw two disappointing defences of their limited-overs global titles – the 2023 50-over World Cup in India and the T20 version in the Caribbean last year.

Buttler has captained England in 44 ODIs overall, with a record of 18 wins, 25 defeats and one no result.

He holds a better record as captain in T20s, with 26 wins, 22 defeats and three no results in his 51 matches in charge.
