England have named their limited-overs squads for the men’s white-ball tour of South Africa, scheduled to start from November 27.

English selectors have decided to go with a full-strength squad for the T20I series. However, the decision has been taken to rest Jofra Archer, Sam Curran and Ben Stokes for the ODIs.

Test captain Joe Root, Chris Woakes, Olly Stone, Lewis Gregory and Liam Livingstone are announced in the ODI squad whereas Chris Jordan and Dawid Malan are only been named for the T20Is.

Both teams will play three T20Is and three ODIs. The matches will take place in bio-secure environments at Newlands, Cape Town, and Boland Park, Paarl. Following the completion of the series, England will fly back from Cape Town to London on 10 December.
This is England’s first overseas tour and South Africa’s first international series during the COVID-19

pandemic.
