Don’t know when Jos Buttler will return to the field
Let us tell you that after the end of the match between Punjab and Rajasthan, during the post match, Rovman Powell said about the return of Jos Buttler – I think the medical team is doing a very good job with him (Jos Buttler). He will recover and come back in a day or two, it is good for us that we have only one match in three or four days.
So, he will be back before this match. I am also a good player, if I am not able to play a match then it means the team is performing well. Whenever I get a chance, I will perform my best.
