Buttler ruled out of T20 Series against Australia, Lancashire team-mate Salt named captain

England white-ball captain Jos Buttler has been ruled out of the T20 series against Australia due to a calf problem.

Buttler has not played a competitive game since the T20 World Cup after sustaining the injury while running on a beach on holiday and his participation in the ODIs that follow the T20 games is also in doubt.

His Lancashire colleague Phil Salt will skipper England in the shortest format with Surrey all-rounder Jamie Overton called up as his replacement.

Essex batter Jordan Cox has been added to the ODI squad as cover.

Marcus Trescothick will coach England for both series against Australia and a tour of the Caribbean in November before Test coach Brendon McCullum assumes responsibility for all three formats in the new year.

The first T20 is in Southampton next Wednesday.

The England T20 squad is: Phil Salt (Lancashire, captain), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire), Brydon Carse (Durham), Jordan Cox (Essex), Sam Curran (Surrey), Josh Hull (Leicestershire), Will Jacks (Surrey), Liam Livingstone (Lancashire), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Dan Mousley (Warwickshire), Jamie Overton (Surrey), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Reece Topley (Surrey), John Turner (Hampshire)

The England ODI squad is: Jos Buttler (Lancashire, captain), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Gus Atkinson (Surrey), Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire), Harry Brook (Yorkshire), Brydon Carse (Durham), Jordan Cox (Essex), Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire), Josh Hull (Leicestershire), Will Jacks (Surrey), Matthew Potts (Durham), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Phil Salt (Lancashire), Jamie Smith (Surrey), Reece Topley (Surrey), John Turner (Hampshire)
