Jos Buttler has stepped down as England’s white-ball captain after his side crashed out of the Champions Trophy.

Buttler will oversee his final fixture in the role against South Africa on Saturday with England unable to make the semi-finals after defeats to Australia and Afghanistan.

The wicketkeeper succeeded Eoin Morgan in 2022 and his tenure began brightly when he led his side to T20 World Cup triumph Down Under later that year.

But a disastrous World Cup campaign in 2023 has been followed by continued poor form across the two white-ball formats, with the installation of Brendon McCullum, already in charge of the Test team, as coach failing to spark England into life.
