Jos Buttler set for "full part" in England v West Indies after hip injury recovery

Coach Trevor Bayliss says a decision over who will act as wicketkeeper is yet to be made for the clash at Southampton

Jos Buttler has fully recovered from the hip problem which threatened his future involvement in England's World Cup campaign and is set to feature against the West Indies in Southampton on Friday.

The Lancashire star injured himself on his way to scoring 64 off 66 balls against Bangladesh in the 106-run win over Bangladesh on Saturday, which left him unable to field during the chase.

But after responding well to treatment the 28-year-old has 100 per cent once again, but a decision over whether he will resume his role behind the stumps is still to be taken.

Coach Trevor Bayliss explained to Sky Sports: "He's fine. He'll be taking part in today's practice fully.

"It was a little bit precautionary the other day. He could have kept but it wasn't sure whether he would have been able to sprint after a high catch. But he'll be fine."

"To be honest I haven't really thought about it.

"We'll make that decision over the next day or two and see how he performs in practice. But I'm fully expecting him to play a full part."

Jonny Bairstow took the gloves for the Bangladesh innings and will retain the position if there are any concerns over Buttler's fitness.

Buttler has already been one of England's stand-out performers having scored 185 runs in three innings including one of two centuries in the defeat to Pakistan.
