Steyn passed fit for England series
Proteas fast bowler, Dale Steyn, has been passed fit and will be available for selection for the upcoming Sunfoil Test series against England starting at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead in Durban on December 26th.
Steyn, who missed the
majority of the Test series against India after sustaining a groin injury in
the first match in Mohali, was given the green light after a comprehensive
fitness assessment in Cape Town on Thursday.
“Dale has put a lot
of work into his training and rehab since his return from India so we are very
happy to have him back from injury. He was put through a thorough fitness test
on Thursday by Cape Cobras physiotherapist, Shane Jabaar, which included two
bowling spells at match intensity, fielding drills, sprints and agility tests.
He came through the tests without any discomfort and will be available for
selection for the first Test match against England starting in Durban next
week," Proteas team manager, Dr Mohammed Moosajee said.
