South Africa have included Kagiso Rabada in their one-day international and Twenty20 squads to tour England next month, but the fast bowler will continue to be monitored for an ankle injury.
South Africa will play three ODIs between September 2-7 and three T20 matches, and will travel to England direct from Australia, where they are leading a 50-over series against their hosts 2-0 with a final game to come on Sunday.
"We’ll reassess Kagiso in England," South Africa coach Shukri Conrad said. "We are hopeful he will be available for part of the ODI series, but we’re prioritising T20 cricket and will take a conservative approach."
Key all-rounder Marco Jansen is fit again after a thumb injury and has been included for the T20s, while teenage fast bowler Kwena Maphaka will act as cover for Rabada in both formats.
"It’s great to have Marco back," Conrad said. "He’s a fantastic all-format player who balances our side, he bowls up front and at the death, and hits the ball a long way."
Hard-hitting left-handed batter David Miller also returns to the T20 squad, as does Donovan Ferreira. Both are currently playing in The Hundred in England.
