Jos Buttler, who is regarded as one of the best ever white-ball players from England, has been going through some poor form in the last few months. Legendary England cricketers Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain shared their thoughts on Buttler's captaincy after the loss.

“I think his time is done as captain. I think that’s probably right. England do judge themselves on these ICC events, they’ve made that very clear, that because they come along so frequently now, they build towards these tournaments," Atherton said.
“But England have had three bad ones in a row now, the disastrous 50-over World Cup in India, a poor T20 World Cup in the Caribbean – where they made the semis but they didn’t beat anybody of note through it – and now here, and their cricket is way below the standards which they set themselves," Atherton noted
Nasser Hussain speaks on Jos Buttler's captaincy
In the same conversation, Nasser Hussain called the comparison between Jos Buttler and Eoin Morgan a "bad" one. He feels that Buttler was unable to keep up with the legacy of Eoin Morgan. He also criticized Buttler's captaincy by claiming that the wicketkeeper hasn't done much in that aspect.
“As far as captaincy goes, I don’t think Buttler has added that much to this England team, but it’s taken away from his batting. And when you add the two together, take away from a great player and you’re not gaining with leadership and captaincy, I think it’s probably time to move on,” he added.
