Jos Buttler's Fitness in Doubt for Australia T20Is After Injury Setback

England captain Jos Buttler faces a race against time to be fit for the T20I series against Australia after suffering a setback in his recovery from a calf injury. Buttler has not played since June and was ruled out of Lancashire's T20 Blast quarter-final. England's medical staff will assess his fitness on Sunday, but he is not expected to keep wicket during the series, increasing his chances of featuring. Sam Curran and Phil Salt are contenders to deputise as captain if Buttler is unavailable for the series starting on September 11.
