Jos Buttler's return as England white-ball captain has been delayed by at least three more matches, after he was ruled out of next week's ODI leg of their tour of the Caribbean due to his long-standing calf injury.

England white-ball captain Jos Buttler will not play in the one-day international series on the tour of West Indies starting later this month after a setback in his recovery from a calf injury, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Monday.

An ECB statement issued on Monday said Jos Buttler would miss the ODIs against West Indies after suffering ‘a slight setback in his rehabilitation’ from a calf problem.
