Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott believes time is ripe for the Test side to move on from Jos Buttler. He added that Jonny Bairstow should be the main wicketkeeper-batter in England’s Test team because he bats better against pacers than Buttler in the longest format of the game.

Buttler has scored just 107 runs in four Ashes 2021/22 Tests and averages just 15.28. “I’m sorry Jos Buttler has been injured and will have to go home, but his wicketkeeping has been poor and his batting worse. When Jonny Bairstow was keeping wicket and lost his batting form, he lost his place in the team to Jos. It’s time to move on from Buttler,” wrote Boycott in his column for The Telegraph.
