Wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock will lead South Africa in their upcoming three-match T20I series with England.

Regular skipper Faf du Plessis, who de Kock replaced as the Proteas’ 50-over captain ahead of the ongoing ODI series with England, has been rested alongside seamer Kagiso Rabada.

Dale Steyn makes his return to the international scene after recovering from a shoulder injury; his last match for South Africa was a T20I against Sri Lanka last March. The uncapped pair of batsman Pite van Biljon and seamer Sisanda Magala have received their maiden T20I call-ups. However, Magala’s selection will be dependent on whether he passes a fitness test ahead of the first match of the series. 

South Africa squad for T20Is against England: Quinton de Kock (c, wk), Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Pite van Biljon, Dwaine Pretorius, Andile Phehlukwayo, Jon-Jon Smuts, Beuran Hendricks, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi, Sisanda Magala, Bjorn Fortuin, Dale Steyn, Heinrich Klaasen
