England will be without white-ball captain Jos Buttler for the One-Day International series against Australia as he recovers from a calf injury, with batter Harry Brook to lead the squad in his absence, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Sunday.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) named the playing XI on the eve of the first T20I against Australia at Utilita Bowl in Southampton on Wednesday. Three uncapped players, Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell, and Jamie Overton, will make their England T20I debut against Australia. Philip Salt will captain the side in the absence of injured designated skipper Jos Buttler. Apart from handling the captaincy duties, Salt will look to lead the charge with the bat in the opening order. The 28-year-old's explosiveness at the top is reflected in his T20I statistics; he has amassed 885 runs at a whopping strike rate of 165.11 in 31 T20Is. In Buttler's absence, Cox will take up the duty behind the stumps. All-rounder Liam Livingstone will prove the firepower needed in the middle-order and is also capable of chipping in with a couple of overs with his spin.s

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said it places his participation in the ODI series against Australia, happening later this month in doubt. ECB further announced that Phil Salt will be assuming England captaincy duties for the T20I series in Buttler's absence while all-rounder Jamie Overton has been drafted into the squad.

Ahead of the much-awaited ICC T20 World Cup 2024 final against India at the Kensington Oval on Saturday, South Africa skipper Aiden Markram shared his thoughts on former India skipper Virat Kohli's poor performance in the ongoing marquee event. Ahead of the clash between the two unbeaten sides of the tournament, India and South Africa, the Proteas cricketer asserted that the 36-year-old is a great player and that cricket is a game of ups and downs. After enjoying a rich vein of form with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2024, Kohli has been searching for runs from his bat throughout the ongoing edition of the mega event.
India's T20 World Cup semi-final against England turned out to be an another flop show for star batter Virat Kohli as he once again failed to deliver a strong performance. Asked to bat first, India started off on a good note with skipper Rohit Sharma and Kohli showing some intent. However, England pacer Reece Topley quickly struck and dismissed Kohli for nine in the third over of the innings. This was Kohli's fifth single-digit score at the ongoing T20 World Cup. With this low score, the right-handed batter also recorded a new career low.
India's star batter Virat Kohli is going through a lean patch in the ongoing T20 World Cup. The right-handed batter has scored only 75 runs across 7 innings that includes two ducks. Kohli continued his poor form during the T20 World Cup semi-final against England in Guyana as he failed with a run-a-ball 9. While trying to shovel a good length delivery of Reece Topley in the third over of India's innings, Kohli missed the ball completely and it rattled his leg stump.
Former England spinner Monty Panesar backed the Indian team to end their ICC World Cup trophy hiatus and lift the coveted T20 World Cup title, and also made a big prediction about India's misfiring Virat Kohli. Ahead of the final between the two unbeaten sides of the tournament, India and South Africa, Panesar backed the Rohit Sharma-led side to lift the trophy and predicted that Kohli would score a 100 against the Proteas. "India will win the T20 World Cup final, and Virat Kohli will score 100," Panesar told ANI.
