Steyn medically not ready for India series
Johannesburg, August 14
Cricket South Africa today said Dale Steyn is not “medically ready” to be named in the T20 squad to face India, clarifying a day after the veteran fast bowler expressed his surprise at his exclusion.
“He is not yet medically ready and our information makes that very clear,” said Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) acting director of cricket Corrie van Zyl.
Van Zyl also stated that Vernon Philander (hamstring) and Theunis de Bruyn (back) are expected to be fit in time for the three-Test series against India in October.
“Both are on track, but they will have to play one match before the tour to prove that they are fully fit,” van Zyl said. — PTI
