LONDON (England): Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Sam Curran were rested from England’s ODI 50-over world champions’ tour of South Africa, the ECB said on Tuesday.
But the three players were all included in the squad for the three Twenty20s, which start later this month, ahead of the three-match ODI series.
Players will be confined to bio-secure bubbles during the tour as they were during the English international season.
Archer, Stokes and Curran have all been in a new bubble while taking part in the Indian Premier League tournament in the United Arab Emirates on health grounds.
