England’s white-ball skipper, Jos Buttler is having a tough time as he is facing uncertainty over his participation against Australia in the upcoming T20I series.

Buttler was looking to make his return to cricket following his side’s semifinal defeat to India in the T20 World Cup 2024. He sustained a calf injury while training before the Hundred tournament.

Lancashire coach Dale Benkenstein told BBC Radio Lancashire: ‘We’ve had some bad news on his recovery. He had an injury he was recovering from and he’s sort of tweaked it again. He’s not only just out of our T20s but I think he’s even struggling to make the international ones. He was very keen to play for us.’

It is suggested that the likes of Phil Salt and Sam Curran are frontrunners to lead the side if Buttler is unavailable.

A Shift Towards BJP's Aggressive Hindutva Amid Opposition's Leadership Crisis
