Potential Successor and Buttler’s Future
Vice-captain Harry Brook is a strong candidate to replace Buttler as England’s new white-ball captain. Despite resigning from the leadership role, Buttler will continue playing for England, hoping that stepping away from captaincy will allow him to enjoy cricket again without pressure.
Buttler’s Legacy as Captain
Buttler took over as England’s white-ball captain in 2022, succeeding Eoin Morgan. Under his leadership, England won the T20 World Cup, but their recent performances in three consecutive ICC tournaments have been disappointing. Despite the setbacks, Buttler remains proud of his tenure as captain and is looking forward to a new chapter in his career.
