White ball coach Matthew Mott says England will not "take a risk" on captain Jos Buttler ahead of the T20 World Cup, with the 32-year-old continuing his recovery from injury.
Buttler has been out of action since August after picking up a calf strain while playing for Manchester Originals in The Hundred. He has not yet featured in England's seven match T20I series against Pakistan, with Moeen Ali deputising as skipper in his absence.
However, Mott says Buttler is "champing at the bit for a game" and could feature in the final two matches in Lahore. The series is currently level at 2-2 and Mott was asked about Buttler's fitness after Pakistan won the fourth T20I by just three runs.
