English wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler has been ruled out of the remainder of England Men’s Vitality IT20s and Royal London ODIs against Sri Lanka after sustaining a right calf injury in England’s first IT20 victory at Sophia Gardens on Wednesday.
According to a statement shared by ECB: “He underwent an MRI scan in Cardiff on Thursday morning, which revealed a small tear.”
Buttler felt tightness and discomfort at the end of the first game after a match-winning 68 not out secured an eight-wicket win.
He will return home on Friday and commence his rehabilitation programme while English T20 star Dawid Malan has been added to the ODI squad for the coming Sri Lanka Royal London ODI Series.
Currently England is leading in the three-match series against the visitors with 2-0.
