Jos Buttler Ruled Out Of England’s T20Is Against Australia, Phil Salt Named Captain
Skipper Jos Buttler: Skipper Jos Buttler has been ruled out of England's T20I series against Australia due to a setback in recovering from a right calf injury. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said it places his participation in the ODI series against Australia, happening later this month in doubt.
ECB further announced that Phil Salt will be assuming England captaincy duties for the T20I series in Buttler’s absence while all-rounder Jamie Overton has been drafted into the squad. Salt had captained the Manchester Originals in The Hundred this season after Buttler was ruled out due to a calf injury while preparing for the competition.
Jordan Cox, who is currently with the Test squad for the last match against Sri Lanka starting at The Oval on Friday, has been added to the ODI squad as cover. The three-match T20I series between England and Australia is set to begin next week at Rose Bowl, Southampton on September 11.
