No red ball in my bag, says new England ODI captain Buttler

BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom, July 01 (AFP): Newly-appointed England limited-overs captain Jos Buttler accepts his Test cricket career is on hold, with "no red ball in my bag", as he prepares to concentrate on white-ball internationals.

Buttler succeeded Eoin Morgan as England skipper in the one-day international and Twenty20 formats after the 2019 50-over World Cup-winning captain announced his retirement from international cricket on Tuesday.

He had been vice-captain to Morgan, who cut short his Test career to focus on white-ball cricket, since 2015.
