Michael Vaughan doesn’t believe Jos Buttler’s likely move to step down as England white-ball captain will make any difference to the side’s fortunes.

In the wake of their exit from the ICC Champions Trophy after an eight-run loss against Afghanistan, the pressure is already piling on the Poms.

Buttler admitted he would likely remove himself as skipper moving forward, but that might not be enough to rectify some of the issues on display in the tournament.

In a column written for The Telegraph in the UK, former captain Vaughan argued that the nation’s inability to compete at a high level in all three formats simultaneously was a far bigger issue than Buttler’s shortcoming as a leader.

“Let’s not kid ourselves that it will suddenly change everything, because England’s problems run much deeper,” he wrote.

“At no stage in our history have we been good at both for any meaningful period of time. That is not good enough and is down to management.

“England have felt they will be all right on the night in the last three World Cups, thinking they knew how to do it – but they have forgotten the principles of what made them a great team – playing together, knowing roles and combinations.

“They used to look like a military operation under [Eoin] Morgan, but now you never quite know what is coming next.”

Vaughan also wrote that there will be “no quick fix” for Brendon McCullum’s men.

Another former captain, Michael Atherton, pointed out the failings have become too consistent for England once they get on the world stage.

“England do judge themselves on these ICC events, they’ve made that very clear,” he said on Sky Sports after the match.

“England have had three bad ones in a row now, the disastrous 50-over World Cup in India, a poor T20 World Cup in the Caribbean – where they made the semis but they didn’t beat anybody of note through it – and now here.

“Their cricket is way below the standards which they set themselves. Sometimes you just have to say it’s not working and therefore it’s time for a change.”

His co-commentator and England great Nasser Hussain described their display in the Champions Trophy as “poor” and agreed with the push for an overhaul.

But perhaps the greatest criticism came from former Test batter Mark Butcher, who explained the “arrogance” of the England side has gone against them.

Speaking to Wisden in the wake of Wednesday night’s loss, Butcher took aim at the approach from the team to major tournaments and the ODI format in general.

“I completely and utterly understand why everybody loves seeing England lose,” he said.

“The arrogance of English cricket to decide that after you strived for all that time to win a 50-over World Cup and then within the next breath, decide it’s not important enough.

“The very thought that you think you are good enough to decide one format isn’t worth your time, but still feel that you are up there and deserving of winning these major trophies is part of the reason why people can’t stand us.

“I feel sorry for the players, because you go there in all of these competitions with very high hopes of winning … but what right do we have to think that you’re gonna be good enough to a win a 50-over competition?”

England’s loss will likely see Australia go through to the knockout stages, assuming they can topple Afghanistan in their final group game on Friday.
