(Reuters) – England’s limited-overs captain Jos Buttler said he is making good progress in his recovery from a calf injury but will not rush his return ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup, which begins in just over two weeks.
The 32-year-old, who has not played since Aug. 18 after sustaining the injury playing in The Hundred, is currently with the England squad in Pakistan, watching the team from the sidelines in their seven-match T20 series.
“I am progressing well,” Buttler told Sky Sports. “It would be nice to play but with the World Cup round the corner we are taking a cautious approach.
“I am running a few drinks, getting the loads up, feeling good. I feel like if it was a World Cup game tomorrow I could play but I am being a bit cautious and taking it a bit slowly. If I had to, I could play.”
The World Cup takes place in Australia from Oct. 16 to Nov. 13.

A calf injury refers to damage or strain to the muscles in the calf area, which can occur during physical activities like sports. Recovery may involve rest, physical therapy, and gradual return to activity.
The T20 World Cup is an international cricket championship organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC), featuring teams from around the world competing in Twenty20 matches, which are limited to 20 overs per side.
A cautious approach in sports recovery involves taking measured steps to ensure an athlete does not rush back into play, prioritizing full recovery to prevent re-injury and ensure optimal performance.
