England white-ball captain Jos Buttler will return to the side for their One-Day International and Twenty20 tour of the West Indies later in October after recovering from a calf injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old wicketkeeper-batter missed England's T20 and ODI series against Australia due to the same injury. England tied the three-match T20 1-1 and lost the five-match ODI series 3-2 against Australia.

Jafer Chohan, John Turner and Dan Mousley are the three uncapped players in the 14-member squad.

"An initial 14-player squad has been selected, which will be supplemented with two players from the test squad in Pakistan," the ECB said in a statement.

"A decision on the two players to join the white-ball squad in the Caribbean is to be made after selection for the third test in Rawalpindi, which begins on Thursday, Oct. 24."

England will play the West Indies in three ODIs, starting Oct. 31, followed by five T20s beginning on Nov. 9. The three-week tour will take place in Antigua, Barbados and St Lucia.
