Cape Town: Dale Steyn, the South Africa pacer, admitted that he was aiming for a place in South Africa’s ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 squad, but added that more than being a part of the 50-over tournament, he would love to see his side lift the cup.
The speedster last featured in a one-day international game back in October 2016, when hosts South Africa defeated Australia 5-0.
South Africa are gearing up for the limited overs series against Zimbabwe, starting on September 30, with Steyn a part of the 14-man squad, an ICC report on Friday said.
Despite coach Ottis Gibson calling him one of the two best pacers in the country, it will be a challenge for the 35-year-old to make a comeback and play every game. “Everyone wants to go to the World Cup and I would love to go to the World Cup, but individually I would love nothing more than to see the Proteas win a World Cup,” he said. “But white ball is a whole new challenge. All the skills, batters coming at you, the powerplays all of that kind of stuff. And I haven’t played white ball international cricket for quite some time,” Steyn added. (UNI)
