Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler doubtful for England's T20I series against Pakistan, says Eoin Morgan

England captain Eoin Morgan said that the team is looking to avoid rushing Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes from their injuries considering the T20 World Cup and the Ashes later in the year.

All-rounder Ben Stokes and wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler could remain absent for England's T20I series against Pakistan, captain Eoin Morgan said. Buttler and Stokes were also not named in the preceding ODI series against Pakistan, which starts on Thursday in Cardiff. "There's always a fine balance between looking at the here-and-now and planning towards the T20 World Cup, also bearing in mind that those two guys are all-format players so they will probably go Down Under and play in the Ashes as well," Morgan said following Sunday's no-result against Sri Lanka.
