South Africa will be without key players Quinton de Kock (rested), David Miller (hamstring injury) and Lungi Ngidi (personal reasons) for its three one-day internationals in Sri Lanka from September 2-7.

However, it expects its big guns to return for the Twenty20 series that follows as it builds towards the World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

All-rounder Dwaine Pretorius will return for both series after an injury lay-off that saw him miss successful tours to West Indies and Ireland in recent months.
