World Cup finalists South Africa have rested all-rounder Marizanne Kapp for their upcoming T20 series with England.

The Proteas are set to host Heather Knight’s side from 24 November for ODI and T20 series, each comprising three matches, followed by a one-off Test match.

Kapp, 34, will return for the 50-over matches, while a squad for the Test will be named at a later date.

The T20 series is South Africa’s first outing since they lost the World Cup final to New Zealand last month, and their selectors have added all-rounders Eliz-Mari Marx and Nondumiso Shangase, and batter Faye Tunnicliffe, to their tournament squad.

Seamer Ayabonga Khaka has also been rested, all-rounder Seshnie Naidu will miss the series for school exams, while wicketkeeper Mieke de Ridder has been omitted.

It will be England’s first series since they were eliminated from the World Cup in the group stage, and the tourists have dropped all-rounder Alice Capsey for the Test and T20 legs of the tour.

She has been replaced by batter Paige Scholfield, who will be in contention for a third T20 cap in the series opener in East London – on the south-eastern coast of South Africa.
