Dale Steyn Makes Comeback In International Cricket

South African squad for the T20I series against England has been announced. The three-match series is set to see a comeback of the experienced Dale Steyn.

Quinton de Kock To Lead SA In T20I

The newly appointed ODI skipper will lead the side in the T20I series too. South Africa will play three 20-over matches on February 12, 14, and 16 at East London, Durban, and Centurion Park. KFC T20 International Series will miss Faf du Plessis and Kagiso Rabada as their rest periods have been extended. But interestingly Dale Steyn has made a comeback after being out of action for one year.

Cricket South Africa took to Twitter to announce the team and wrote, “#BreakingNews Quinton de Kock has been named captain of the Proteas T20 squad that will take on England in the three-match #KFCT20 international series from 12 to 16 Feb in East London, Durban & Centurion. #ProteasT20Squad #Thread”.

Dale Steyn Comes Back

Cricket South Africa also broke the comeback news of the Steyn saying, “Included in the team is the experienced Dale Steyn, who returns to international cricket after nearly a year’s absence, Sisanda Magala and Pite van Biljon. Faf du Plessis & Kagiso Rabada’s rest period has been extended, they were not considered for selection.”

The speedster was last featured in a T20I match for South Africa in March last year against Sri Lanka at home. Then he was not included in the team for ODI series against England. Now Steyn is set for his international comeback with a series against the same opponents. Steyn is one of the greats of South African cricket with 61 scalps in 44 T20Is including two four-wicket hauls to his name. The 36-year-old already retired from Test cricket as South Africa’s highest wicket-taker.
