Punjab Kings’s (PBKS) all-rounder Liam Livingstone on Monday returned to England from the ongoing IPL to undergo a knee recuperation ahead of the next month’s T20 World Cup. Along with Livingstone, Jos Buttler (Rajasthan Royals), Will Jacks and Reece Topley (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) also have left the IPL to join England squad ahead of the T20I series against Pakistan, beginning on May 22.
The injury is not of serious nature, but the England management, as per ESPNCricinfo, decided to give him more time to get it treated prior to their home T20I series against Pakistan. Livingstone had a lean IPL this season, scoring 111 runs from seven matches and took just three wickets. Meanwhile, other England players—Moeen Ali (Chennai Super Kings), Sam Curran, Jonny Bairstow (PBKS) and Phil Salt (Kolkata Knight Riders)—will be home-bound very soon.
