AUS vs ENG: The Champions Trophy is back and is scheduled to be played in Pakistan in 2025. Just like several other teams, the mighty Aussies are also looking to consolidate their hold on the format with several new players who are replacing the likes of the veterans, who were a part of Australia?s World Cup-winning squad in 2023. First among them and probably the greatest would be David Warner, the veteran who has been a huge slave to Australian cricket and retired from all formats of the game recently after the end of the T20 World Cup. Warner was seen opening alongside Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh in the last World Cup; however, the Aussies will be in the quest for a batter to replace him in the role.

Veteran pacers Josh Hazelwood, Mitchell Starc, and all-rounders Glenn Maxwell, as well as veteran batter Steven Smith, are all either too old or lacking in form. Though they have chances to feature in the Champions Trophy, the Aussies would look to land some replacements for them in the long run. With the Champions Trophy in sight, Australia will have their first breakthrough series in the format to access their experiments in the 50-over format, and the outing will be a tour of England in the upcoming contest on September of 2024. The first breakthrough for a player has been for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Fraser-McGurk">Jake Fraser-McGurk</a>. The young Australian opener has been in the buzz with his splendid performances across several competitions in the world. In his short appearance, he already holds the record for the fastest hundred in List-A cricket, having registered it in just 29 balls.

Considering Travis Head?s unstoppable form for over 2 years now, he remains Australia?s constant surprise across all formats of the game, and so will he be seen against England in the ODIs. Though the likes of Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne have been picked for the ODIs, Team Australia would undoubtedly look to bring out some of their experiments, including players like Cameron Green and Josh Inglis in the role. Green has already shown how classy a batter the big West Australian all-rounder can be whenever he is provided the role to bat up the order.

With the likes of skipper Marsh at 3 and Green at 5, Glenn Maxwell might find himself more in a finisher?s role at No. 6, with the likes of Matt Short securing some chances at the veterans' place.

With Marcus Stoinis set to miss the England tour, several Aussie players have been looking to land themselves in the role, with the biggest contenders among them being Cam Green as well as Aaron Hardie. In the absence of World Cup-winning skipper Pat Cummins, the Aussies will be led by Mitchell Marsh, and the pace bowling will be shepherded by veteran pacer Mitchell Starc, with Hazelwood, Hardie, Ellis, Abbott, and Zampa being their only spinners. The Aussies do not have much to choose from the bunch of players on the bowling deck. Likely with changes, the Aussies will be in the quest to build a perfect team for the upcoming Champions Trophy and will also be eyeing the World Cup title defence some years later, in 2027.

Legendary English all-rounder Moeen Ali has finally drawn curtains to his illustrious international career for England. This is now official as the player with two World Cup titles has ended his days for the Three Lions. Moeen has represented the English side for a decade now since he marked his debut back in 2014 when he was primarily seen as a player of the longest format of the game. Ali was one of England?s frontline spinners after <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Swann">Graeme Swann</a> and Monty Panesar retired internationally from tests. However, Ali soon introduced himself as a world-class all-rounder and his aggressive nature. He was then brought in by Captain Morgan to the limited-overs cricket, where he emerged as England?s second all-rounder option alongside Ben Stokes. Ali was a part of England?s World Cup-winning team in 2019, their first ever in the history of cricket. Also, he reversed international retirement alongside Stokes to feature for the three-lions in the T20 World Cup 2022 under skipper Buttler. This was their second T20 World Cup title following the first win under Collingwood.

Moeen Ali retires internationally with nearly 300 matches across all three formats of the game. He has scored 6678 runs while also picking up 366 wickets. He will be remembered as England?s all-time greatest all-rounder, having scored eight centuries as well. "People forget the impact you make in games. It might only have been 20 or 30, but it was a crucial 20 or 30. For me, it was about making an impact. I know what I brought to the side, on and off the field. As long as I felt people enjoyed watching me play, whether or not I did well, I was happy with that," Ali remarked on his role in the England setup. Moeen has represented several teams globally across several franchise tournaments, as he has played for teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. He is also about to make his debut in the CPL after being announced as a replacement in the Guyana Amazon Warriors team.

 During his decade-long cricket career, when asked about his most memorable moment, Ali shared his two World Cup-winning moments as well as their Ashes victory. However, for England, he has individually scored England?s fastest 50 in just 16 deliveries against South Africa in 2022. He also remembers his wonderful Test hat-trick from Oval. 



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
 "Winning the Ashes and two World Cups was great, but from an individual point of view, it was my Test hat-trick against South Africa at the Oval to win us the game. And I'm proud to have the fastest T20 50 for England (16 balls vs. South Africa in 2022)."

England National Cricket Team skipper Jos Buttler has stepped down as the captain of the white-ball team. This comes after his poor performances as captain in the ongoing 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, where the Three Lions faced a group-stage exit. 
England National Cricket Team was eliminated from the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy after they suffered a disappointing defeat against the Afghanistan National Cricket Team. This was their second consecutive loss in the ODIs, having faced a poor defeat against Australia in their tournament opener. 
After England got eliminated from the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, skipper Jos Buttler faced a lot of criticism. The keeper-batter has been having a torrid time as a leader as even before the tournament, his team were at the receiving end of thrashing against India and England in T20Is. 
Jos Buttler will be leading the England National Cricket Team for the one final time in the game against South Africa in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. The match between the teams will be taking place at the National Stadium in Karachi on Saturday (28th February).
<h2> Hopefully somebody else who can come in and work closely alongside Baz to take the team back to where it needs to be - Jos Buttler </h2>
Jos Buttler made the decision public during the press conference ahead of the game against South Africa. He believes that it was the right time for him to step down as the captain and an opportunity for someone else to take the team forward along with coach Brendon McCullum. Speaking about his decision, he said: 
"Just to let you all know, I'm going to stand down as England captain. It's the right decision for me, it's the right decision for the team and hopefully somebody else who can come in and work closely alongside Baz to take the team back to where it needs to be. 
I think it's quite clear that this tournament was going to be important results-wise for my captaincy and obviously two losses and being out of the tournament with a bit of a hangover from some tournaments before, I think I just probably reached the end of the road for me and my captaincy, which is a shame." 
Jos Buttler guided England to the win in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. However, after that, the Three Lions faced a group stage exit in the ICC World Cup 2023, lost in the semi-final against India in the T20 World Cup 2024 and again group stage exit in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
