Ashes: England Should 'Move On' From Jos Buttler; Advises Geoffrey Boycott

By IANS News January 10, 2022 • 14:01 PM View: 1201

Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott believes time is ripe for the Test side to move on from Jos Buttler. He added that Jonny Bairstow should be the main wicketkeeper-batter in England's Test team because he bats better against pacers than Buttler in the longest format of the game.

Buttler has scored just 107 runs in four Ashes 2021/22 Tests and averages just 15.28. With the gloves, he dropped some crucial catches in Adelaide, which played a part in England losing the match. But Buttler won't be a part of the fifth Test in Hobart as he is flying back home due to a broken finger.
