Four-match T20 series between England and Pakistan will start from May 22.
The four-match T20 series between England and Pakistan is going to start from May 22. The first match will be played at Headingley, Leeds. However, before the T20 World Cup, team captain and veteran batsman Jos Buttler will not be able to take part in some matches of this important T20 series.
Let us tell you that Jos Buttler’s personal reasons are being considered a major reason behind this. Butler needs some time for his wife Louise Butler, whom he married in 2017. inews.co.uk If we believe, Jos Buttler may very soon become a father for the third time.
Apart from Butler, head coach Matthew Mott will also not be seen with the team in this series due to family reasons. So in the absence of Matthew, assistant coach Richard Dawson took the responsibility of practicing the England cricket team before the first T20 match.
England team for T20 series against Pakistan:
Jos Buttler (captain), Ben Duckett, Phil Salt, Will Jaques, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Tom Hartley, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, Mark Wood.
It is noteworthy that Butler was seen playing for Rajasthan Royals in the recently released IPL 2024. However, before the playoffs, the England and Wales Cricket Board has withdrawn all its players from the IPL, including Butler. So now Rajasthan, which has reached the playoffs, will be seen playing without Jos Buttler in the eliminator match.
Let us tell you that in the IPL, Butler had played century innings against teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders, whereas now Butler is not available for Rajasthan for the playoff match against RCB. Without Butler, Rajasthan’s batting is looking a bit lackluster.
