Steyn Targets County Stint For South African Comeback

Written by Vipin Darwade

South African fast bowler Dale Steyn revealed on Sunday that he is targeting a stint with English county Hampshire in June as his comeback to competitive cricket. In last two years, Steyn Multiple Comebacks marred with injuries, however he is feeling fully fit right now.

“I could get through 12 or 15 overs but that’s not enough to be competitive in a Test match,” he said.

“I’m going to take another month off. I’m not going to the IPL (Indian Premier League). I’m looking to go over to Hampshire in June to play a little bit of cricket, then Sri Lanka in July.”

Steyn is just two short of Shaun Pollock’s South African Test record of 421 wickets. He is likely to have another chance to break the record when South Africa tour Sri Lanka in July and August.
