England Men’s white-ball captain Jos Buttler will belatedly join the upcoming tour of the West Indies for the T20I series only as he completes his recovery from a calf injury.
Buttler will miss the three-match ODI series against West Indies after suffering a slight setback in his rehabilitation.
Liam Livingstone will step in as captain for the ODI series with the Lancashire all-rounder set to lead England for the first time. A decision on whether to add a replacement player to the squad is still to be decided.
