England’s white-ball captain, Jos Buttler, has announced he will not play in the SA20 2025 season. Buttler has been a key player for the Royals in this tournament, but he has to focus on his national duties this year.
Buttler has been struggling with injuries and was unable to play in The Hundred 2024. He shared his decision to withdraw from SA20 2025 in a video on the Royals’ official Instagram page.
In the video, Buttler said, “Hi everyone, Jos Buttler here. I’m sorry to announce that I won’t be returning to the SA20 this year. I have some important England games coming up, so my focus will be on that. It’s unfortunate, but I won’t be part of the tournament this season.”
Buttler’s absence from SA20 2025 is to make sure he is ready for England’s tour of India in January. This tour includes five T20Is and three ODIs, which are very important for England as they prepare for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan next year.
Fans and teammates will miss Buttler in the SA20, but his decision shows his commitment to England’s success on the international stage. His focus on national duties is vital for England’s upcoming challenges.
