England’s talismanic all-rounder Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler are rested for the ODIs, much to the respite of South Africa’s new captain Quinton de Kock, 🌜who will captain in placeღ of Faf du Plessis.
Matthe💫w Parkinson, post stellar show in the warm-up games, is expected to earn his England cap. Mostly inexperienced, the Proteas will provide opportunities to several ꦛdebutants.
