Following Buttler’s resignation during England’s miserable Champions Trophy campaign in Pakistan, the team needs a new limited-overs captain.
In response to Jos Buttler’s retirement, former test captain Joe Root has declared himself out of the running for the position of white-ball captain of England, stating that the ship has sailed to take over. Buttler resigned during England’s miserable Champions Trophy campaign in Pakistan, when the team lost all three games, and the squad needs a new limited-overs skipper. However, Root was optimistic that the team will recover from its setback.
In response to a question regarding the white-ball captaincy, Root said to Sky Sports on Friday, “I don’t think so.” That ship, I believe, has sailed. I believe my tenure as England’s captain is over. But whoever is given the chance will undoubtedly be incredibly proud and perform admirably.”The Champions Trophy was a letdown.” Although we didn’t perform to our full potential, he continued, “that team has a ton of talent and has a lot more to offer.After previous losses, the 30-year-old is hoping to win his maiden series in the upcoming home test series against India on June 20 and the Ashes in Australia on November 21.
I believe we have everything it takes to win The Ashes. We should, in my opinion, take care of the preparations for it. Root stated, “We need to play some really good cricket at home.”
Although we are strong in our own environment, there is nowhere to hide when India visits for a five-match series. “You have to be consistent; it’s a long-term grind,” he continued.
