SE Butler could not do in Somerset, at the end of their run ends in second place in County Cricket, but gave further proof of his talent against Surrey at Lord's. The Day After Tomorrow Jonny Bairstow burst onto the international scene, matchwinning innings against India, Butler gave his own eye-catching 86 off 72 balls presentation of the final CB40.

There are still places in the battle of England limited-overs teams and Ravi Bopara after Bairstow taken the opportunities offered by the absences of Kevin Pietersen and Eoin Morgan. The two senior players also lose Twenty20s against West Indies this week - while Morgan has ruled India visit next month - that is, the opportunity to impress before the teams of the Indian public.

Bairstow is unbeaten 41 off 21 balls in Cardiff has given it a trip to the subcontinent, but Butler, who was called into the team one day as a cover for the final battle may be wrong Durham versatile Ben Stokes for a place in the touring party. Stokes played the first four matches against India, although it was beaten only twice and struggled against spin.

Also still unable to bowl for the broken finger he suffered earlier this season, so the performance of the steward of the Lord came at the right time and county captain, Marcus Trescothick believes that showed its rapid development.

"He can play tickets as big as that," said Trescothick. "It was quite reserved in Jos all saw when he calls, left, right and center of the earth. He was very mature. Was the perfect image of the game situation.

"It was amazing to see. We have seen enough times the size of Joshua in recent years to justify it in the international team," he added. "If he can continue playing. Such and given the opportunity to play in international matches, the England fans will see some good performances, because it is a serious player "

Position Buttler Twenty20 team to face the West Indies means that he can not travel to Somerset for the Champions League on Sunday, even if you could connect with the team, if progress in qualifying at Hyderabad. The odds are against them, but because they have two games in two days and the first in less than 24 hours after their arrival in India. But if you do not reach India for his county, Butler does a good reason to go on their land.
