Buttler's Bittersweet Farewell: England's Champions Trophy Exit

England's Champions Trophy 2025 campaign was ended early after a disappointment defeat against Afghanistan in a nail-biting game. The defending champions were dismissed for 179 runs by South Africa in their last group game. Jos Buttler's team was criticized for their poor show, with former players such as Michael Vaughan criticizing the team's strategy. The premature exit has led to demands for Buttler to resign as captain, and the skipper himself is also questioning his future. England's recent white-ball cricket form has been poor in the last two years, leading to questions regarding their 'Bazball' approach and a leadership review.
