Jos Buttler resigns as England captain after Champions Trophy failure, with Ben Stokes as a potential successor.

England`s cricket landscape is currently in turmoil following a dismal performance in the 2025 Champions Trophy, where the team failed to secure a single victory. In the aftermath, Jos Buttler has stepped down as the white-ball captain, prompting discussions about Ben Stokes potentially taking over the leadership role. ECB Director Rob Key has indicated that overlooking Stokes would be a "stupid" decision, given his tactical acumen and proven leadership skills.

As the team reevaluates its composition, several players are under scrutiny for their lackluster performances. Names like Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Mark Wood, Phil Salt, and Harry Brook are being considered for exclusion from the ODI squad as England looks to revamp its lineup ahead of the 2027 World Cup. Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali has voiced his concerns regarding the ODI format, labeling it the "worst format" due to its rules that favor batters and the growing popularity of T20 leagues.

Meanwhile, Team India is gearing up to face New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final, with England legends weighing in on India`s perceived home advantage in Dubai. The cricketing world watches closely as England navigates this pivotal moment in its cricketing history.
