Cape Town - The Proteas have rested a number of their star players for the upcoming three-match T20I series against England.
Following the disappointment of their ICC Champions Trophy exit on Sunday, South Africa must now regroup for three T20s against England, the first of which will take place on Wednesday, June 21.
AB de Villiers will lead the side in the absence of regular captain Faf du Plessis who has been given a "break" for the series.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) have opted to let a number of players who are regularly involved in all three formats rest for the series.
Du Plessis, along with Kagiso Rabada, Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock and JP Duminy will return home for a break before the Test series.
England, meanwhile, have also named a watered down squad for the series.
The first of four Test matches gets underway at Lord's on July 6.
