Jaipur: Rajasthan Royals, who are gearing up for the IPL playoffs, suffered a heavy blow. England captain Jos Buttler will be without services for the play-offs. The England Cricket Board has decided to recall the England players. Buttler is an opener for Rajasthan Royals. The star has scored two centuries in the tournament so far. The loss will not only be for Rajasthan. As far as Kolkata Knight Riders are concerned, it is a problem.
Kolkata will miss the services of Phil Salt, who has been in blistering form. Moeen Ali also plays for Chennai Super Kings. Will Jacks and Reese Topley also play for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Liam Livingston, Jonny Bairstow and Sam Curran also play for Punjab Kings. England are playing four T20 matches against Pakistan as part of the T20 World Cup preparations. That is why the England Cricket Board has decided to recall the players. First T20 against Pakistan on May 22.
