England v South Africa: Sam Curran returns for first T20 at Cardiff

England was flat in the first two ODI – especially when the opening in Headingley went out for 131 – but in Southampton, he replied with a record win.

While the prisoners are listened to this series, a new -looking side will be directed by Bethell against Ireland at the end of the month and will give players like Curran another chance to impress McCullum.

McCullum, after the ODI series, told Sky Sports, “I recently sat with him and wanted him to explode the door, enter the first six and forcing it with his bowling ability.” He said.

“It was a very attractive source and it was just a matter of performance to take him back to where he should be.

“He was honest. He said he was determined to play a long international career and play a fair game, he shot him.”

Duckett and Smith were among the five tests against India before going directly to the faces and then to ODIs.

The UK had a white ball series in New Zealand in November before the ashes, and in February, another strict return with the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka – the program has not yet been published.

“I can only talk for myself, but frankly I don’t play cricket, so I can only focus on the white ball side of things, you can go to New Zealand and then rest, so fresh for the world cup,” Spinner Rashid said about the program packaged to BBC Sport.

“Probably a little hard for children [playing all formats] But this program.

“Everyone will be ready for it, huffing and inflatable or complain, because we all know that it is a part of the jack and parcel. We will all continue to go mentally and physically.”

The first T20 starts on Wednesday at 18:30, on Friday, the second match in Old Trafford and the final in Trent Bridge on Sunday.
