Proteas to rest ex-skipper Faf Du Plessis against England

CAPE TOWN - South Africa have left out former captain Faf du Plessis from their squad for the One Day International series against England, which starts at Newlands on Friday.

The 36-year-old, who retired from test cricket earlier this year, is being rested for the three-match series after competing in the Twenty20 games against England, which the visitors swept 3-0, and in the Indian Premier League for the Chennai Super Kings. He joins injured fast bowler Kagiso Rabada on the sidelines. Rabada suffered an adductor injury earlier this week and will only return later this month for the test series against Sri Lanka.

JUST IN: Faf du Plessis has been rested for the ODI series against England, while Pite van Biljon, Reeze Hendricks and Bjorn Fortuin will return to their franchises to play 4-Day cricket.
