Phil Salt takes gloves for England in T20 series with Jos Buttler specialist batsman

The Telegraph  

Phil Salt will keep wicket for England throughout their Twenty20 series in the Caribbean with Jos Buttler playing as a specialist batsman. Buttler, England’s white-ball captain, will make his return from injury in Saturday’s opening T20 clash in Barbados, missing Wednesday’s final ODI. I’m just glad to be doing it at the moment.” Marcus Trescothick, England’s interim white-ball coach in McCullum’s absence, told Salt over the weekend that he would keep in all five of the T20 matches. Though Salt has only kept in two previous T20s for England, and often plays as a specialist batsman in franchise leagues he said that he “definitely” prefers keeping wicket.
