Joseph Charles "Jos" Buttler (born 8 September 1990) is an English cricketer who plays for Lancashire County Cricket Club and England. He is a right-handed batsman who also plays as a wicket-keeper and is the current Vice-Captain of the England limited over squad. He captained single T20I on 27 November 2015 against Pakistan, where England won the match by 3 runs. Buttler was made captain of the England one day squad in September 2016, stepping in for Eoin Morgan who declined to tour Bangladesh on security grounds. Buttler led a young England side to a 2-1 victory over the tigers.
Buttler enjoyed a prolific cricket record while at school, sharing a record-breaking opening partnership while at King's College, Taunton in 2008, and the following season his school lost only one of seventeen matches under his captaincy, and he was named 2010 Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year. He made his Somerset first-team debut in 2009. His performances led him to be selected to play for England at Under-19 level, touring Bangladesh, and then travelling to New Zealand for the 2010 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Jos Buttler made his Test cricket debut against India in 2014.
Buttler played extensively for Somerset's youth teams, appearing at Under-13, Under-15 and Under-17 level. He made his senior club cricket debut for Cheddar before moving to Glastonbury in the 2006 season, aged just 15, taking three catches and fifteen runs as wicket-keeper. Later in the same season, he made his first appearance for Somerset Second XI, scoring 71 in the second-innings, and taking six catches in the three-day match against Nottinghamshire Second XI. Playing for King's College, Taunton, he finished the 2006 season with the school's leading batting average, scoring 447 runs at an average of 49.66. The following season he played regularly for Glastonbury in the West of England Premier League, and for Somerset Under-17s, for whom he scored two centuries; an unbeaten 119 during a two-day match against Surrey Under-17s, and 110 against Sussex Under-17s. He once again led the batting averages for King's College, with his 358 runs coming at 51.14.
