England National Cricket Team are in search of a new skipper in the ODI format. This is because Jos Buttler stepped down from the role after the team had a horrendous campaign in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Three Lions faced a group-stage exit as they didn't win a single game in the tournament.
Jos Buttler failed as a captain as well as the leader in the ICC World Cup 2023. They also England played a poor brand of cricket in the tournament, as they failed to qualify for the semi-final. It was expected that they would come up with a brilliant performance in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but that too wasn't the case.
