New Delhi [India], October 2 (ANI): The England cricket team’s regular skipper, Jos Buttler, will return from a calf injury to lead the Three Lions in the white-ball formats on the tour of the West Indies later this month.
Buttler had missed the limited-overs series against Australia, where England levelled the T20Is and narrowly lost the ODIs. Phil Salt and Harry Brook had led the T20I and ODI sides, respectively in his absence.
Also named in the squad is uncapped leg-spinner Jafer Chohan, who has played 23 T20s but is yet to make his List A debut.
John Turner and Dan Mousley are the other uncapped players. Though the duo were part of the Australia series, they did not get a game.
A 14-player squad has been named, and two players from the Test squad in Pakistan will be added. The choice of these two players for the white-ball squad in the Caribbean will be determined after the selection for the third Test in Rawalpindi, which begins on Thursday, 24 October.
England will play West Indies Men in three ODIs and five T20Is from October 31.
