England white-ball captain Jos Buttler will miss the upcoming tri-series, the BBC reports, while England prepare to award central contracts. The news comes as selectors weigh up leadership and squad options ahead of a busy limited-overs period. Buttler's absence leaves a gap at the top of the order and raises questions about who will lead in his place.
Why now: Buttler is England's white-ball captain, so his absence from the tri-series and the timing of contract decisions make it major cricket news.
