England's Jos Buttler ruled out of Pakistan tour due to injury
Summary

Jos Buttler has been ruled out of England's upcoming tour of Pakistan after suffering a hamstring injury during a one-day international match against Sri Lanka last week. Buttler exited the match in noticeable discomfort, leading to his absence from the series decider, which England won by 223 runs. Limited-overs coach Brendon McCullum confirmed that Buttler will miss the tri-series next month, and there are concerns about his fitness for future tours. Jordan Cox, who recently returned to the ODI setup, will get additional opportunities in Buttler's absence. England plans to finalize their squad for the Pakistan tour within the next 24 hours, while other players, including Sam Curran and Adil Rashid, are also managing injuries.
