England have disintegrated as a white-ball outfit since their two World Cup wins in 2019 (ODI) and 2022 ( T20 ) It is time to once again plan for the future because relieving Jos Buttler of the captaincy is simply the sensible thing to do.

Harry Brook seems the most credible option to replace Buttler but there are not many options to replace him.

Buttler has done it before, in the five -match series against Australia last September , which will have at least got him thinking about captaincy while on the field.

We do not know how good a skipper he may be but those close to the camp speak highly of his cricket brain.

If Brook does take over, he will have a nice run up to 2027 .
