England’s wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler is the "whole package" and that is why he should be added in England's Test side, feels former Australian spin legend Shane Warne.

Buttler was under the scanner due to lapses behind the stumps during the first Test against Pakistan last week where he missed chances twice against opener Shan Masood on 45, who later scored 156, helping Pakistan to reach 326 on the board in their first innings.

However, Buttler, who was earlier struggling with the bat too, played a crucial 75-run knock in the second innings and built the winning foundation with a century stand with Chris Woakes to help England win the first Test by three wickets.

"He should always be in the side. Jos is a very good and reliable keeper but, occasionally, you're going to have a few bad days - it wasn't easy out there, either," Warne told 'Sky Sports'

He further added, "But Jos should always be in your side because of what he's capable of, with the bat especially. And then his keeping, he's a good leader among the team as well - there's a calmness about him - he's the whole package. He's always one of the first pencilled in for me."

Warne against said that Buttler's positive approach helped his non-striker Woakes, who struck scored a match-winning unbeaten 84 after having an average of only 5.22 in his last six Tests.

"He just played beautifully; and that helped Woakes at the other end, who had been struggling for form, but came in and played extremely well. I'm very happy for Woakes and, in particular, Buttler. It was a fantastic chase, against a quality attack, on a good pitch," he told.
