England National Cricket Team are all set to lock horns with India National Cricket Team in the five-match T20I series. The first game of the series is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd February) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata and the preparations are fully on.
Jos Buttler, however, will not be taking the keeping duties, and it is likely that one among Phil Salt or Jamie Smith will be taking the role. Salt has been exceptional in the T20Is of late as he has scored runs consistently for the team and is likely to open the innings for the team.

I am sure we will see Jos over the next couple of years really enjoy himself - Brendon McCullum on Jos Buttler
Brendon McCullum added that he is excited to be part of the team and lavished rich praise on Buttler, saying that the skipper will be enjoying himself over the next couple of years. He elaborated:
