Jos Buttler to miss ENG vs PAK series?
As per UK publication INews, Buttler is expected to be called away anytime soon in the coming few days. Pakistan will take on England in the 1st T20I on May 22. Buttler, who recently returned home after taking part in the IPL 2024, hasn’t been in the best form, managing to score just one century for the Rajasthan Royals in the present edition. He returned home ahead of the IPL 2024 playoffs in order to prepare for the series against Pakistan and the T20 WC. However, it looks like he will miss a part of the series.
