Butler said- this is the right time to leave the captaincy In the press conference, Butler said, ‘This is the right time for me to leave the captaincy, this is also the time for the team. I hope that a new player will take charge of the team and will take the team to a new point of heights with coach McCullum. The results of the Champions Trophy were very important for my captaincy.
When McCullum became a white ball coach, I was very excited to work with him. I expected the team to change its results and move forward rapidly. However, this could not happen, so I am leaving the captaincy. ‘
Butler said- a lot of work is needed on the game Jose Butler said after losing the match to Afghanistan, ‘I think the team did not get the results as we wanted. So I had to consider the captaincy decision. England cricket needs to think a lot in both the White Ball formats. I have a lot of work on my game. I have to understand whether I am part of the problem or the solution? ‘
