Perhaps, the only fast bowler who will be the first person to remember when we hear the word ”aggressive fast bowler”. He has been the revelation for South Africa during these times but gradually his graph has fallen down due to a spate of injuries. However, Dale Steyn wants to make his spot in the ICC World Cup 2019.

Dale Steyn has been sidelined for many years due to the shoulder injury in his dominating hand. However, he made a sterling comeback to the side after taking the rehabilitation for a long period of time.

I would love to see South Africa winning ICC World Cup 2019 – Dale Steyn

Dale Steyn quoted that his return was appreciated by the fellow fast bowlers in the team Lungi Ngidi and Kagiso Rabada. He added that the challenges will make the players perform even better in order to fight for the spot.

Further, the fast bowler quoted that he would like to grab a spot in the upcoming grand event of ICC World Cup 2019. Dale Steyn went on to add saying that he would love to see South Africa lifting the trophy in 2019.

“It’s good to have challenges. I think Lungi and KG would also appreciate the fact that I’m coming back into the side because they would also know that their positions are under threat. We all are. You can only take a handful of these fast bowlers to the World Cup and we’re all fighting for a spot,” Dale Steyn said to reporters.

“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. And if that means that I don’t go, then so be it. I did my job coming in here, pushing guys to perform at their best. Pushing KG, pushing Lungi, pushing Andile, all these guys. I’m just happy to be here, playing cricket, and challenging them,” he added.

However, it would be intriguing to watch whether Dale Steyn makes the comeback or not in the team. Technically, the presence of Dale Steyn will not only help the youngsters to learn but also will be very useful in crunch situations of the game.
