"Nat Sciver will remain Team England's captain in the Commonwealth Games. No replacement player can be named, so England will compete with a 14-person squad," it added.

In the second match against South Africa, the English team put on 167 runs on the board for the Proteas to chase. South Africa were restricted to 141and England won the game by 26 runs.
