England’s White-Ball Captain Jos Buttler Set for Return in West Indies Tour
England’s regular white-ball captain, Jos Buttler, is set to make his return to international cricket during the upcoming tour of the West Indies. The tour will feature three T20 Internationals (T20Is) and five One-Day Internationals (ODIs), scheduled to take place in October and November 2024. Buttler, who had been sidelined due to a calf injury, missed the recent limited-overs series against Australia but is now fit and ready to lead his side.
England’s squad, announced for the West Indies tour, consists of 14 players with three uncapped talents, as the team aims to build towards future global tournaments.

Jos Buttler will captain a squad that blends experience and youthful talent. The squad includes key players like Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, and Liam Livingstone, with several exciting prospects being given opportunities to shine. Notably, three uncapped players have earned their call-ups: Jafer Chohan, Dan Mousley, and John Turner.
Chohan, a 22-year-old leg-spinner from Yorkshire, stands out as the first graduate of the South Asian Cricket Academy to receive an England call-up. Turner and Mousley, who were part of the squad in the recent series against Australia, also feature in the initial squad of 14 players.
Harry Brook, who captained England in Buttler’s absence during the Australia series, is currently part of the Test squad in Pakistan but could join the white-ball team once the Test series concludes.
