Of late, Jos Buttler has become a force to reckon with in the International Cricket. More often than not, he came up with scintillating knocks for the team in the recent past. Meanwhile, in the latest, he would be back in his captaincy reigns for the clash against Pakistan in the absence of Eoin Morgan for the fourth ODI.
Eoin Morgan was sanctioned after World Cup hosts and favourites England took around four hours to bowl their 50 overs in a six-wicket win over Pakistan in the third ODI at Bristol on Tuesday.
He was also fined 40 per cent of his match fee and his players 20 per cent of match fees after match referee Richie Richardson ruled England were two overs short after time allowances were taken into consideration.
Jos Buttler got the experience:
Meanwhile, Jos Buttler is all set to lead England in the fourth ODI against Pakistan in place of regular captain Eoin Morgan on Friday. In between, it is surprising to see Joe Root isn’t taking the charge, who is the vice-captain of the team in One Day format of the game.
So far, England has been a batting powerhouse in the ongoing series against Pakistan scoring in an excess of 300 on a consistent basis in ODIs and we could be in for another monstrous batting performance as the hosts would love to seal the series at Nottingham.
Meanwhile, England may well rest regular opener Jonny Bairstow, who hit a sparkling century in the previous match to try out other options before the World Cup. James Vince could replace Bairstow in the 4th ODI.
A lot of changes is expected for the clash with the likes of Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid and Mark Wood waiting for their chances. Liam Plunkett and David Willey might also pave a way alongside Eoin Morgan. Not only for England but also Pakistan would ring in quite a few changes to the side.
