London, Aug 30 : The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has decided to rest spinner Graeme Swann for the remaining three one-day internationals against South Africa.
South Africa leads the five match one-day series 1-0 after an 80-run win in Southampton on Tuesday.
James Tredwell has been called up as cover, Sport24 reports.
"(Swann) has admitted to carrying a long-term elbow problem in his right arm and will take the next three matches off before returning for the three-game Twenty20 series," a ECB statement said.
