England men’s white-ball captain Jos Buttler is reportedly set to be offered a landmark four-year deal from the Indian Premier League franchise Rajasthan Royals. As per The Telegraph (UK), RR are interested in signing Buttler for a long-term deal to secure his services for their teams in other cricketing leagues. Buttler already represents RR in the IPL and the Paarl Royals in the SA20. However, he is not a part of the Barbados Royals franchise in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) which belongs to the same owers.

This comes months after reports claimed that Mumbai Indians considered the possibility of offering Jofra Archer a year-round deal. Accepting the deal would make Archer available for leagues like UAE’s ILT20 and USA’s Major League Cricket. At the same time, this will make him drop his national contract and his cricketing board would have to seek the franchise’s approval to secure his services for the ICC events.
His pace. His precision. His tweets.

Meanwhile, recently England’s Jason Roy opted out of his England national contract to secure his move to LA Knight Riders in the upcoming first-ever season of MLC in the USA. It will now be interesting to see if Buttler would be interested in accepting any such offer. He is currently 32 years old and certainly has several years left in his white-ball career.
