Jos Buttler has stepped down as England’s ODI captain following the team’s early exit from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has left the England Cricket Board with a big question of who will lead their struggling ODI side next. England’s 50-over side managed to win just three matches in the 2023 Cricket World Cup in India and finished at the bottom of the Group B table in ICC Champions Trophy 2025, losing all their three league games. In this article, we mentioned the three players who can lead the England ODI side.
Who Will Be England’s Next ODI Captain?
Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes is a great choice for England’s ODI captaincy. The all-rounder is their current red ball captain and is a good option to lead the struggling ODI side. He is one of the key contributors in England’s 2019 Cricket World Cup and T20 World Cup 2022 victories. The 33-year-old has played 114 ODIs for England, scored 3463 runs, and taken 74 wickets.
Harry Brook
Harry Brook is also a great option for ODI captaincy for England. The 26-year-old is one of the key players for England in all three formats. The board can see him as a long-term captaincy choice. The right-hand batter has played 26 ODI matches for England, scoring 816 runs, including 1 century and 5 half centuries.
Ben Duckett
Ben Duckett is the highest run scorer for England in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The left-handed batter scored 227 runs in three matches. England’s other players struggled to make an impact. Duckett played amazingly well. He can also be a good choice for captaincy with his approach in this format.
