Jos Buttler named as Matt Prior's replacement in England squad

Jos Buttler has been named as Matt Prior's replacement in the England squad for the third Test against India in Southampton.

Prior confirmed on Monday that he would be taking a break from the game in order to overcome a number of injury problems.

Lancashire wicketkeeper Buttler comes into the side without having been capped at Test level.

There are no other changes to the team following their 95-run defeat to India in the second Test at Lord's. Meanwhile, Alastair Cook remains as captain amid doubts over his leadership.

England currently trail India 0-1 in the five-Test series with three matches left to play this summer.

England squad to face India at the Ageas Bowl: Cook, Ali, Anderson, Ballance, Bell, Broad, Buttler, Jordan, Plunkett, Robson, Root, Stokes, Woakes
