Kent captain Sam Billings has been named in both white ball squads for England's tour of South Africa later this month.
England have named both a T20 and ODI squad for the tour which sees them play three T20s and 3ODIs against South Africa behind closed doors at Newlands, Cape Town and Boland Park, Paarl.
Billings scored his maiden ODI century against Australia in September , and he averaged 37.66 with the bat during seven England appearances in white ball cricket this summer.
The first T20 takes place on November 27, although England will play intra-squad pratice matches in both formats before then.
