Jos Buttler: England captain to miss ODI series against West Indies as injury recovery continues

England white-ball captain Jos Buttler will miss the upcoming one-day international series against West Indies after a setback in his recovery from injury.

Lancashire all-rounder Liam Livingstone will instead captain England for the first time in the three-match ODI series, which starts on October 31 in Antigua.

England said Buttler, who has not played since the T20 World Cup in June, had suffered "a slight setback in his rehabilitation" from his calf injury.

The 34-year-old also missed England's T20 and ODI series against Australia in September.

Buttler, however, remains in the England squad and will join up with the tour party in Barbados in the hope of returning in the following five-match T20 series, which begins on November 9.

Uncapped Essex wicketkeeper-batter Michael Pepper has been called up to the squad for the ODI series as a replacement for Buttler.
