Nottinghamshire’s Olly Stone and Ben Duckett have been included in England’s 14-strong squad for a three-match ODI series against South Africa in January. 

Stone, who has received ten caps across all formats for his country, was recently included in the Three Lions’ squad for their ODI tour of Australia, and claimed four wickets in his second appearance in Melbourne.

He also featured on England’s recent IT20 tour of Pakistan.

Duckett, meanwhile, returns to the ODI setup for the first time since 2016 having also impressed on England’s IT20 and Test tours of Pakistan over the winter. 

Over the summer, the 28-year-old amassed a 67-ball 85 as England Lions routed South Africa in a 50-over fixture at Taunton, and fell just short of a second half-century two days later in the second game of the series at Worcester. 

The upcoming three-match series in South Africa will be played over six days, with matches in Bloemfontein and Kimberley. The first match starts on 27 January in Bloem, and the final game will be on 1 February in Kimberley.
