England captain Jos Buttler, who is all set to make a comeback to the international setup against Australia in the three-match T20I series ahead of the T20 World Cup provided an update on Liam Livingstone's availability in the showpiece event.
Notably, the hard-hitting all-rounder was ruled out of England's historic tour of Pakistan after he suffered an ankle injury during The Hundred tournament in August and has not been seen in action since then.
Providing an update on Liam Livingstone’s availability for the T20 World Cup 2022, starting October 16, here's what Buttler said:
“He is still a little way off at the minute so he’s building back. Hopefully, he’ll get back to full fitness before the start of the World Cup."
The hard-hitting batting all-rounder has forged a reputation as one of the cleanest and a powerful strikers of the cricket ball. He has plundered a string of records in recent times in white-ball cricket and his unavailability will be a huge blow for the Three Lions heading into the tournament.
