The Proteas were denied a chance to claim victory in the first Test against the West Indies due to inclement weather as the match ended in a draw.
Only 15 overs were bowled on a rain-interrupted opening day of the first Test between West Indies and South Africa in Trinidad with the Proteas 45/1 at stumps.
The trio of Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes and Jack Leach have all been left out of England's Test squad, while three uncapped players have been called up for the West Indies tour.
England should play the long game with Jofra Archer and prime him for India's visit next year as well as the 2025/26 Ashes, according to former fast bowler Steve Harmison.
England's tour of India ended in abject fashion as they were hammered by an innings and 64 runs inside three days, with not even James Anderson's 700th Test wicket masking another batting capitulation.
After a strong start, England collapsed to 218 all out before India raced to 135/1 at the close of play in the fifth and final Test match in Dharamshala on Thursday.
