Fast bowler Jofra Archer returns to England's squad for the T20 World Cup in June after more than a year out with injuries.
Jofra Archer has been recalled to the England squad for their defence of the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and United States in June.
The same group will take on Pakistan in a four-match T20 series, which begins at Headingley on 22 May. However, England surrendered the 50-over World Cup in shambolic fashion in India last autumn, and anything like a repeat this time around would leave Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott in severe danger of being replaced.
He missed all of last summer after a recurrence of the stress fracture in his elbow and England have been cautious will his rehab. Archer will look to prove his fitness against Pakistan and then would be in line to play for England in Barbados, the country of his birth.
