The most apt, and a like-for-like replacement for Jos Buttler would be his opening partner Phil Salt. The wicketkeeper-batter has also been the preferred gloves man over Buttler, and the wicketkeepers' ability to control the game from behind the stumps is nothing uncommon. In fact, Buttler himself earned success while leading England to the T20 World Cup win in 2022. In case, ECB see a leader in Salt, he may be chosen as the next leader for the Englishmen in the ODIs and T20Is.
