Joe Root will no longer play in England's upcoming IT20 Tri-Series against Australia and New Zealand.
The Three Lions Test captain will return to England for a break having played in every Ashes match and the first three ODI fixtures against Australia this month.
Root will return for the five-match ODI series against New Zealand starting in Hamilton on 25 February.
No replacement has been named at this stage for the 27-year-old Yorkshire batsman.
Root said: “I came into this tour wanting to play everything. I love playing for England and I don’t like missing games of cricket.
“I had a long chat with Trevor Bayliss about things and there’s obviously a big summer ahead and a lot of cricket still to be played. It’s going to be really important to make sure that I’m available for all of that.
“The decision has been made to have a little break. I’m sure when I’m at home I will be sat watching and willing the lads on.”
