Liam Livingstone has been dropped from England’s white-ball squads to face the West Indies while all-rounder Liam Dawson has been recalled.

Livingstone, who is not currently injured, stood in for former captain Jos Buttler last year during England’s ODI series against the West Indies but has not been included in the current team.

Dawson is set to make a return to the white-ball team after almost three years, but will only feature in the T20 games, live on Sky Sports.

Buttler could also find himself at the centre of a club-versus-country dilemma, with the end of the rescheduled IPL set to clash with England’s ODI against the West Indies.

England’s first white-ball assignment of the season, under new captain Harry Brook, sees them take on the West Indies in three one-day internationals on May 29, June 1 and June 3, meaning a potential conflict of interests for Buttler, whose Gujarat Titans side are currently top of the table and favourites to reach the knockout stage.

“We’re keen to support the IPL and the BCCI in getting the schedule up and running, and to facilitate players’ return should they choose to go back,” the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement.

“No Objection Certificates have been granted based on the original IPL dates, so we’ll need to review any potential extensions, particularly in relation to any clash with the final white-ball squad.

“We’ll continue to work closely with the BCCI and the IPL as the situation develops.”

Jacob Bethell, Phil Salt, and Livingstone play for second-placed Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Director of men’s cricket Rob Key had originally given permission for extended stays at the IPL, meaning Bethell was allowed to sit out the Zimbabwe Test later this month, but will now have to assess the new picture.

Buttler stepped down as captain earlier this year, replaced by Brook, with the West Indies series being his first time leading England as the skipper.
