England have selected five Indian Premier League players in their one-day squad to face the West Indies, including former captain Jos Buttler, but have not ruled out allowing them to skip the series.
England failed to retain their T20 and ODI World Cup crowns with Buttler at the helm and the 34-year-old stepped down as white-ball captain in February following their group-stage exit in the Champions Trophy.
England's Jos Buttler hammered an unbeaten 73 to lead Gujarat Titans to a thumping eight-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday.
With Jos Buttler stepping down from the role after a disappointing Champions Trophy campaign, the search is on for England's new white-ball captain. While several names are in contention, Joe Root - the most experienced member of the squad - has ruled himself out for the role.
England cricket supremo Rob Key said on Thursday "it would be stupid" to rule Test captain Ben Stokes out of consideration for the role of skipper of the struggling white-ball team.
The 34-year-old joins India's Sachin Tendulkar and West Indian Brian Lara as players who failed to translate their many individual triumphs into success as captains.
England will have to rebuild and regain their confidence in the 50-over format after a dismal Champions Trophy campaign, out-going captain Jos Buttler said, before adding that they had enough talent to turn around their flagging fortunes.
Jos Buttler said on Friday he is to step down as England's white-ball captain after a disastrous Champions Trophy campaign ended with them failing to reach the semi-finals.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes Jos Buttler's time is up.
