Steyn suffers another blow

– Proteas speedster Dale Steyn could be set for another stint on the sidelines after picking up a groin injury in a county cricket match on Monday.

The 35-year-old was unable to complete his 11th over for Hampshire against Nottinghamshire at Southampton and was forced to leave the field.

Steyn has had a horrible run of injuries over the last two years, hampering his bid to become South Africa’s record Test wicket-taker, though he did equal the record in Sri Lanka last month.

Steyn and Shaun Pollock have each taken 421 Test wickets.

A serious shoulder injury kept him out for most of last year before a heel problem sustained in his comeback Test against India in February sidelined him once more before returning against Sri Lanka. – Reuters
