Buttler can offer an attacking option in the middle-order

Despite being a part of the England squad for the 2-Test series in Bangladesh, Jos Buttler was not able to break into the playing eleven. However, the performance of their middle-order on viciously turning pitches may force coach Trevor Bayliss to consider the 26-year old who has the ability to counter-attack against spin.

Whilst he has become a critical component of the limited-overs setup, the wicket-keeper batsman’s previous Test appearance came more than a year ago against Pakistan at Dubai.

Buttler could come into contention if the frontline batsmen struggle to negotiate the spin threat.
