Jos Buttler replaces wicketkeeper Matt Prior for third Test - 7643664 - 07-22-2014
Jos Buttler has replaced wicketkeeper Matt Prior in the England squad for the third Test against India.
Prior, 32, stood down from England duty in the aftermath of the second Test defeat at Lord's because of injury.
Buttler, 23, will make his Test debut having played 33 one-day matches and 36 Twenty20 games for his country.
Spinner Simon Kerrigan has been dropped from the squad for the third Test, which starts on Sunday, 27 July at Hampshire's Rose Bowl.
Lancashire wicketkeeper Buttler was called up as cover for the first Test at Trent Bridge, but Prior recovered from a thigh injury to play.

Quote:[size=1.35em]The Buttler plan has come to fruition rather more quickly than expected. After much agonising last season – on both sides – Jos Buttler severed his ties with Somerset, where he was educated and nurtured as a cricketer, in order to enhance his chances of playing Test cricket for England.[/size]
