Jos Buttler to miss third T20I against Australia
Buttler left the bio-secure bubble following England six-wicket victory to be with his family, but England are hopeful he will be able to rejoin the squad in time ahead of the first ODI between the sides, which will be played on 11 September.
The wicket-keeper's absence may offer another chance at the top of the order for Tom Banton, who has been batting at No.4 rather than his preferred opening spot. Sam Billings looks the likely candidate to come into the playing XI.
