Steyn given extended break to heal

Steyn sustained the injury during the second Test against India in Durban. The recovery period will be between three to four weeks, and should have no effect on his availability for the inbound tour against Australia starting on February 12th. 

Proteas team manager, Dr Mohammed Moosajee explained: " Dale dived while fielding a ball on Day one of the second Test against India in Durban and complained of slight pain of his right anterior chest region. He continued playing and bowling with mild discomfort for the rest of the Test. When the discomfort persisted after the Test match, a scan was performed which detected a small undisplaced fracture to his right 8th rib.
