BBC Sport — 3 November 2020
Ben Stokes has been named in England’s Twenty20 squad for the white-ball tour of South Africa starting 27 November. The all-rounder missed the second half of the international summer to be with his father Ged, who has brain cancer. England will play three T20s and three ODIs, all behind closed doors, at Cape Town’s Newlands and in nearby Paarl. Captain Eoin Morgan will lead England in both formats. Stokes, along with Jofra Archer and Sam Curran, will be rested for the ODI series after playing in the Indian Premier League in the UAE. The three ODI matches will count towards qualification for the 2023 World Cup in India.
