McCullum hints at Jos Buttler’s return to England Test side

England’s newly-appointed Test head coach Brendon McCullum has hinted at a possible return of wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler to the English Test side. Buttler was omitted after England’s distressing 4-0 Ashes series defeat in Australia despite being one of the world’s best white-ball run-makers.

McCullum, who observed Buttler’s brilliant IPL 2022 run closely and believes the player can work on his batting in red-ball cricket too. He believes players who have succeeded in T20 cricket can definitely bring that talent to their red-ball game. “Jos is one of those players you look at instantly and think how could he be so dominant in one form of the game and not quite have found his feet, other than a few fleeting performances, in Test cricket?”
