England wicketkeeper batter Jos Buttler is all set to return to the squad for the fifth and final Test of the ongoing series against India in Manchester. The Test match is set to begin on Friday, September 10 at the Old Trafford in Manchester. While Buttler featured in the first three Test matches of the series in Nottingham, Lord's and Leeds, he had taken paternity leave to attend to the birth of his child and had to miss the fourth Test match at the Oval in London. Buttler was blessed with a baby girl on September 2 and will now rejoin the squad for the final Test. While there have been speculations over the end of his Test career following a disappointing run with the bat against India, captain Joe Root thinks otherwise. Root has gone on record saying that Buttler's red-ball career is far from being over and he remains an integral part of the Three Lions' plans moving forward.
