England's ODI cricket team will be led by Liam Livingstone in their series against the West Indies, as current captain Jos Buttler faces an injury setback.

Buttler has been sidelined by a calf injury, which previously kept him out of the Australia tour. England, however, remains optimistic about his return for the T20 series starting November 9.

This marks Livingstone's first time as captain in the ODI format. Notably, Harry Brook and Phil Salt captained the team during the prior series against Australia.
