JOS BUTTLER admitted he will consider his position as England white-ball captain following a third ignominious exit at a major tournament under his leadership.

England have surrendered both limited-overs World Cups in the last 18 months and have now crashed out of the Champions Trophy in the group stages after a nail-biting eight-run defeat to Afghanistan.

Buttler accepted the stakes were high ahead of Wednesday’s contest in Lahore and after a 22nd loss in 34 ODIs since succeeding Eoin Morgan in June 2022, he acknowledges he has some soul-searching to do.
