Some of the best international teams have put on some incredible performances in the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025, a massive ICC cricket game. Jos Buttler‘s England squad, which came last in their group and didn’t win a single game, is among the sides that have fallen far short of expectations in the competition. Only one team in the competition finished with zero points, and that is the England team.
Several experts and former England cricket players have voiced their dissatisfaction with the team’s performance, and they have been very critical of it.
Among the past cricket players who expressed dissatisfaction with the team’s performance was great batter and former England captain Alastair Cook,
who also mentioned how he trained as a player and was irritated by the team’s carefree style under Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes.
“I prepared thoroughly before it, hitting a lot of balls. Now that Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes are in the setup, it seems much more laid back. A past 2013 Champions Trophy finalist stated on the “Load of BS on Sport” podcast, “I don’t know how much I would have enjoyed that relaxedness.”
If you’re in form, hit even more balls because you don’t want to ruin that rhythm. I think that’s what I enjoyed about Goochy (Graeme Gooch). Andy Flower was working and getting better all the time,” Cook continued.
Buttler left after a lacklustre Champions Trophy exit.
Star batsman and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler resigned as captain of the England squad for both One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals. Many fans now want to know who will be guiding the team in these two configurations in the future. All of the supporters and former players will not want to remind themselves of one of England cricket’s darkest times.
