England’s captain Jos Buttler has admitted that his workforce’s white-ball management will come below scrutiny following their early exit from the ICC Champions Trophy and mentioned he must “consider all possibilities” about his captaincy future. After struggling an eight-run loss to Afghanistan on Wednesday night, England crashed out of the ICC Champions Trophy. It is the second straight males’s ODI event the place they’ve missed out on reaching the highest 4. “The outcomes aren’t the place they have to be, and I personally want to think about all potentialities. We have to get us, as a workforce, again to the place England cricket must be within the white-ball codecs. And I feel I’ve started working out, personally, am I a part of the issue or am I a part of the answer?” Buttler was quoted by ICC.
Whereas Buttler confirmed he would replicate on his future as captain within the coming days, England will conclude their Champions Trophy marketing campaign on Saturday towards South Africa, who wish to stamp their place within the semi-finals.
“I will take a little bit of time to just work out personally what I think is right. I’m not going to make any emotional decisions right here, right now. You’re probably not the first people I’d discuss that with. Results are tough, and they weigh heavy at times. And, of course, you want to be leading a winning team, and we haven’t been that for a while now, so obviously that brings some difficult moments.”
Former West Indies quick bowler Ian Bishop echoed the sentiment that England’s management could possibly be below assessment.
“They have to be a much better team than that. I think there might be leadership questions now, given the history they’ve had since 2019. The quality is there, but they are not harnessing it. And that might just mean maybe another leadership,” Bishop mentioned.
