England's team has suffered a major setback before the T20 and ODI series against Australia. England captain Jos Buttler is out of the T20 series and it is difficult for him to play in the ODI series as well. Jos Buttler has suffered a calf injury. Buttler was unable to take the field since the T20 World Cup. It was believed that Buttler would be fit for the ODI and T20 series against Australia but that did not happen. Phil Salt will now captain the T20 series in place of Jos Buttler.

Phil Salt became the captain

Phil Salt will be seen leading the English team in the three-match T20 series.

This right-handed batsman has got the opportunity to captain for the first time. The T20 series will start in Southampton from Wednesday. Phil Salt is in great form this year. In IPL 2024, this player scored 435 runs in 12 matches for KKR. Salt also played many brilliant innings for England and as a result he has now got the command of the T20 team. By the way, if Buttler is not fit even for the ODI series, then Harry Brook can be made the captain of England's ODI team.

Wishing you all the best in your recovery, Jos
