All-rounders Ben Stokes and Sam Curran along with fast bowler Jofra Archer have been rested for England's upcoming One-day International series against South Africa that starts on December 1. The trio will be part of the England squad traveling to South Africa for the limited-overs tour of the country and will be taking part in the three-match T20 International series that will be played on November 27, 29, and December 1.
"Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, and Ben Stokes have been rested for the three-match ODI series and will return home after the T20I series," said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) while announcing the squads for the two series.
The touring party departs on November 16 and will play three T20Is and three ODIs taking place behind closed doors in a bio-secure environment at Newlands, Cape Town, and Boland Park, Paarl.
