    Champions Trophy: England Elect To Bat First Against South Africa In Buttler’s Final Game As Captain

    By IANS News March 01, 2025 • 14:20 PM View: 676
    Champions Trophy: England have won the toss and elected to bat first against South Africa in the final Group B match of 2025 Champions Trophy at the National Stadium on Saturday. This is the final time Jos Buttler will captain England in white-ball cricket after announcing his resignation on Friday.

    A win for South Africa will see them enter the semi-finals and finish as Group B toppers, while England are already out of the eight-team competition and look to sign off from a tumultuous white-ball phase in the sub-continent on a high.

    After winning the toss, Buttler said Saqib Mahmood comes in for Mark Wood, who injured his right knee. "Looks a decent wicket, few cracks it in. Felt like the right time, no need to wait around and make that decision. Time to move on.”
