Whether his teammates follow suit is another question, but Lungi Ngidi won't be afraid to experiment in the Proteas attack's quest to topple a dangerous English batting order when their three-match ODI series commences in Chester-le-Street on Tuesday.

South Africa white-ball skipper and Test vice-captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of their tour of England which starts next month, Cricket South Africa said on Wednesday. Bavuma suffered an elbow injury during a recent Twenty20 series in India and needs eight weeks to recover. The Proteas will play three world championship Tests, three one-day internationals and three T20 internationals against England as well as two T20 internationals against Ireland in England. Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj will lead the one-day team and batsman David Miller will lead the T20 side in Bavuma's absence.

"It might get a little bit frustrating, but there are a lot of positives, especially the way the whole team showed character after the series was 2-0. We are trying to find different ways of winning matches, we are trying to play in a new way.
