The 34-year-old, who succeeded Eoin Morgan in June 2022 and led England to T20 World Cup glory later that year, has come to a quick resolution about his future and he will step aside after their last Group B contest in Karachi.
England’s group stage exit at the Champions Trophy – a third flop at a major tournament in the last 18 months, having relinquished both white-ball World Cups – left Buttler considering his position.
Jos Buttler has announced he will resign as England’s white-ball captain after their Champions Trophy dead rubber against South Africa on Saturday.
“I’m going to stand down as England captain, it’s the right decision for me and the team,” he said.
