Ship Has Sailed On Chances Of Becoming England’s White-ball Captain, Says Joe Root
The Champions Trophy: Premier England batter Joe Root said the ship has sailed on his chances of being England's next white-ball captain, adding that his focus is squarely on performing well in Tests against India and later in Australia during the Ashes.
England are in search of a new white-ball skipper after Jos Buttler resigned from the role following the side losing all three of their group stage matches in the 2025 Champions Trophy.
"I don't think so. I think that ship's sailed. I think I've done my time as a captain in England but I'm sure whoever gets the opportunity to do it will be extremely proud and do a brilliant job. The Champions Trophy was disappointing. We didn't play anywhere near what we're capable of but there's so much talent and so much more to come from that team."
