LONDON: England captain Jos Buttler has been ruled out of the upcoming Twenty20 series against Australia, with Phil Salt stepping up to lead the side.
The 33-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has not played since the T20 World Cup in June because of a calf injury and a recent setback has extended his lay-off. Salt, who deputised for Buttler at Manchester Originals in this season´s Hundred tournament, will lead England for the first time in Southampton on September 11, before games in Cardiff and at Old Trafford. England have been forced to juggle the captaincy in recent months across different formats.
