'They're big shoes to fill' – Jordan Cox on potentially replacing injured Jos Buttler in 3rd ODI vs Sri Lanka

Jordan Cox prepares to step behind the stumps for England in their upcoming series-ending fixture after Jos Buttler suffered a left hamstring strain. Buttler encountered the issue during the second match at Headingley where he retired on 67 runs from 45 deliveries before returning briefly, while Dan Lawrence joins the squad as reinforcement for the final contest.

Cox acknowledged the immense challenge of filling the shoes of a prominent white-ball specialist whom he has long admired. With the three-match series tied at one victory apiece following a 16-run defeat in the previous outing, Cox expressed enthusiasm for performing in front of a capacity crowd during the concluding home fixture of the summer.
