The 34-year-old wicketkeeper-batter, who missed the T20 and ODI series with Australia due to the same injury last month, will however lead England's T20 side against West Indies. In Buttler's absence, all-rounder Liam Livingstone will be England's stand-in captain in the three-match ODI series which begins on Oct 31. A decision on whether to add a replacement player is still to be decided," the ECB said in a statement. Two more players from England's Test squad playing in Pakistan will be added for the West Indies tour, the ECB added. England travel to the Caribbean next week while Buttler will join the team in Barbados ahead of the five-match T20 series, scheduled from Nov. 9.
