Sam Billings called up as cover for both Jos Buttler & Jonny Bairstow
England’s Jos Buttler has a broken finger and will be returning home to end a difficult Ashes tour for the 57-test capped wicket-keeper batsman.
England team management said after the dramatic finish to the fourth test that saw the tourists cling on for a draw at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday that Buttler has a “fractured left index finger” and that he will return home on Monday for further assessment and treatment.
“It’s quite a serious injury and for him to be able to front up and put in as he did from the moment he took that knock shows how much he cares,” said captain Joe Root after the fourth Test.
