World Cup finalists South Africa have given all-rounder Marizanne Kapp a rest for the upcoming T20 series with England.

The 34-year-old Kapp 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 appearance since the defeat the World Cup final against New Zealand last month, and their selectors have included all-rounders Eliz-Mari Marx and Nondumiso Shangase and batsman Faye Tunnicliffe in their tournament squad.
Seamer Ayabonga Khaka has also been rested, all-rounder Seshnie Naidu will miss the series due to school exams, while wicketkeeper Mieke de Ridder has been left out.
