Jos Buttler To Miss Remainder of IPL 2021 in UAE, Rajasthan Royals Name Glenn Phillips As Replacement
Buttler missing out on the Indian Premier League this year would indeed be a big blow to the Rajasthan Royals, who are already without their Ben Stokes, who are one of their star players. The UAE leg of IPL 2021 is set to begin from September 19.
England's Jos Buttler would miss the remainder of the Indian Premier League to be held in the UAE, as he and his wife are expecting their second child. Rajasthan Royals have named New Zealand wicket-keeper batsman Glenn Phillips as a replacement.
See their tweet here:
