Welcome to the latest cricket updates,
Update number 1: Joss Buttler stepped down from the captaincy of England.
It was a last match ( England vs South Africa) for Joss Buttler to lead the team as the captain in white ball format. Recently Joss Buttler has seen many failures as a captain of England. England, under the captaincy of Buttler lost both T20 and ODI series against India. Now England lost all the three matches in the Champions trophy.
In the match England vs South Africa, Joss Buttler was completely depreciated in individual performance. It was the worst performance from England’s team. It was the last match for England in the Champions trophy. Everyone kept hopes on England that they might win at least one match. The scene got reversed and England got a similar result of failure.
Even Afghanistan kept low hopes on England that they might win in 200+ runs margin. But England who got batting first did not even score 200 runs. South Africa easily chased down with the loss of only two wickets in less than 30 overs. South Africa demolished England’s third match. England white washed in all the three matches in Champions trophy 2025.
Once upon England was a powerful and strong team. It was a quality team. The expectations were different and the performance given by the team was different. Recently England wasn’t able to win a single match. These failures in England came under the captaincy of Joss Buttler. Hence England’s cricket management decided to change the captain to ensure victories. So Joss Buttler stepped down from the captaincy of England.
Update number 2: Mathew Short ruled out from the champions trophy semi finals?
Australia has qualified for the semi finals. Mathew Short an opener and all rounder was injured. He is more likely to rule out from the semi finals. He was a replacement player.

Update number 5 : Pakistan spent 1280 crores to rebuilt stadiums in Pakistan.
Pakistan renovated all the stadiums in Pakistan for the Champions trophy 2025. Pakistan spent 1280 crores to rebuilt and renovate stadiums.
Whatever the amount spent by Pakistan, appears to be useless. The last match of Pakistan i.e Pakistan vs Bangladesh . Both the teams have lost all the matches in the Champions trophy. It was the match to prove themselves at least by winning on the match. But the match got no results due to rain, each point is given to both the teams.
Pakistan spent 128 crores, but they played only one match in their home ground. They struggled a lot to keep hosting on the Pakistan ground. In only the first match against New Zealand, they played on the Pakistan ground. The second match played against India in Dubai and the third got abandoned due to rain. Pakistan spent 1280 crores to play one match in their home ground.
Pakistan looks happy at least they got one point. What if they lost the third match too? Being a host team and losing all the matches. Does it make sense for the host? If they lost the third match against Bangladesh, they were white washed in Champions trophy 2025. Instead of losing all the matches. Pakistan has one point which makes them a little happier.
