# Cricket: England will rest top-order batters Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith for the T20 series against South Africa. In their absence, Phil Salt, who has been on paternity leave, looks set to open the batting alongside either Tom Banton or Will Jacks. Head coach Brendon McCullum says they must learn how to cope better with their busy international schedule, which includes giving players rest. The first of the three-match T20 series gets underway in Cardiff tomorrow.
