Buttler wary about future as England captain
Hindustan Times Ranchi
|February 28, 2025
Embattled England captain Jos Buttler will spend the next few weeks analysing whether he is a "part of the problem or the solution" before taking a call on his future as the team's leader following its Champions Trophy ouster due to a stunning loss to Afghanistan.
LAHORE:
England lost by eight runs in a chase of 326 as Afghanistan rode on the combined brilliance of Ibrahim Zadran (177) and Azamatullah Omarzai (41 and 5/58) to record a memorable win here on Wednesday.
"I think I've got to work out personally am I part of the problem or am I part of the solution?" an "obviously gutted" Buttler said in the post-match press conference when multiple questions were thrown at him on his future as captain.
This was the third successive failed ICC tournament campaign by England under Buttler after the 2023 World Cup in India and the 2024 T20 World Cup in the Americas.
England had suffered a humiliating 69-run loss to Afghanistan in the group stage of the 2023 World Cup in New Delhi.
