MELBOURNE: South Africa´s premier fast bowler Dale Steyn missed training on Wednesday due to flu, but is expected to be fit for the World Cup match against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
“He has a bout of sinusitis but will be back at training tomorrow,” the team´s media manager Lerato Malekutu told AFP.
Even though Steyn looks certain to take the field in Sunday´s key Pool B match against the defending champions, his presence has been underwhelming in the first week of the tournament.
He bowled just seven overs in the first warm-up match against Sri Lanka and was rested for the second game against New Zealand.
Steyn was said to be suffering from a sore throat and blocked nose during their Cup opener against Zimbabwe, where he returned with unflattering figures of one for 64 from nine overs against the minnows.
