South African speedster Steyn fit for England Test series
Cape Town: South African fast bowler Dale Steyn has been declared fit for the upcoming four-match Test cricket series against England. Inclusion of Steyn will provide Proteas fast bowling a great boost.
“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,” Proteas team manager, Mohammed Moosajee was quoted as saying by the BBC on Friday.
“He was put through a thorough fitness test on Thursday by physiotherapist, Shane Jabaar, he came through the tests without any discomfort and will be available for selection for the first Test match against England.”
The first of the four-match Test series begins in Durban on December 26.
The 32-year-old has taken 402 wickets in 81 Tests at an average of 22.56, including 46 in 11 matches against England.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
