Delhi: Time is not going well for England’s ODI and T20 captain Jose Butler. England have lost seven consecutive matches under his captaincy. However, the defeat against Afghanistan in the Champions Trophy (ICC Champions Trophy 2025) was the most painful, as this defeat was discharged from England tournament.
Since winning the T20 World Cup 2022, England have played 58 ODIs and T20 matches under Butler’s captaincy, out of which they lost in 32. This includes getting out of group stage in the 2023 ODI World Cup, defeat in the semi -finals in the 2024 T20 World Cup and now being out of the group stage in the Champions Trophy.
Butler made a statement on captaincy
Now questions are arising whether Butler will leave the captaincy? On this, after losing to Afghanistan, Butler said, “Our results should not be the same as it should be. I personally have to think whether I am part of the team’s problem or the solution? “
He further said, “I do not want to take any decision by flowing in emotions. I will first think well on this and then talk to ECB officials. It is necessary to bring the team back to the point where he became a contender to win a big tournament. “
When Butler was asked whether the captaincy is affecting his mental and physical health, he said, “Sometimes it seems. Some people feel that captaincy is not right for me, but I like it. When I was not a captain, I still considered myself a leader. But the burden of defeat sometimes falls heavy. “
