South Africa paceman Kagiso Rabada has been ruled out of the one-day series against England after sustaining a groin injury
The fast bowler - who missed Tuesday's final T20 international against England - is expected to take about three weeks to recover from his right adductor strain.
Rabada has therefore been released from the squad and bio-secure environment that is in place for the England tour.
Cricket South Africa said his release was designed to ensure rehabilitation and preparation for the 25-year-old ahead of the two-Test series against Sri Lanka with starts on Boxing Day.
South Africa play three ODIs against England, starting on Friday before further games on Sunday and next Wednesday.
