Liam Livingstone has been appointed as the sixth captain of England in 2024, stepping in for the injured Jos Buttler for the upcoming one-day international series against the West Indies. Buttler, who is 34 years old, has been sidelined from competitive cricket since England's unsuccessful title defense at the T20 World Cup in June. His ongoing calf injury, which he initially sustained while running on the beach during a family holiday, has raised concerns among the medical team due to its recurring nature. As a result, Livingstone will lead the team for three matches in the Caribbean as England navigates this challenging period.
