Jos Buttler to return to England squad

LONDON: Wicketkeeper batsman Jos Buttler is all set to return to the England squad for the fifth and final Test against India, starting on Friday in Manchester, following the birth of his second child, Margot.

Buttler played the first three matches in Nottingham, Lord's and Leeds, but missed the Oval Test to be with his wife, Louise, leaving the gloves with Jonny Bairstow and prompting speculation that his England future would consist of white-ball cricket.

However, England Test skipper Joe Root said that Buttler's career in the purest format is far from being over. Root said that Buttler remains an integral part of the Three Lions' Test setup. IANS
