Jos Buttler has been ruled out of England's one-day international Tri-series in Pakistan next month after sustaining a hamstring injury in last week's match against Sri Lanka, limited-overs coach Brendon McCullum announced on Monday.
The injury represents a significant blow to England's squad ahead of the tri-nation tournament, which will see the team competing against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Buttler, a key player in England's white-ball setup, was hurt during the recent Sri Lanka encounter and has been deemed unavailable for the upcoming campaign.
McCullum's confirmation of Buttler's absence comes as England prepares for the Pakistan leg of its international schedule. The coaching staff will now need to adjust selection plans to compensate for the opening batter's unavailability during the series.
No timeline for Buttler's return to international competition has been provided, with the focus remaining on allowing adequate recovery time for the hamstring injury to heal properly before further involvement in England's ODI commitments.
