Livingstone to take reins for three matches in CaribbeanMedical team concerned by Buttler’s calf injury relapses
Liam Livingstone will become the sixth man to captain England this year, taking the reins for the one-day international series against West Indies, after yet another setback for Jos Buttler in his return from a calf injury.
Buttler, 34, has not played senior cricket since England’s failed defence of the T20 World Cup in June and the problem – a calf strain first picked up while running on the beach during a family holiday – is now proving a concern for the medical staff because of repeated relapses.
