Dale Steyn out of World Cup, Beuran Hendricks on his way to London
The Proteas and Titans veteran bowler Dale Steyn officially withdrew from the South African cricket team at the ICC World Cup in England on Tuesday morning.
In the midst of the Proteas’ struggling start in this year’s Cricket World Cup – where they have already lost their first two games – the team received even more bad news
Dale Steyn’s 2019 World Cup is over before he could play a single game.
Fast bowler Steyn officially withdrew from the Proteas team on Tuesday morning after the shoulder injury with which he struggled failed to respond to treatment.
The ICC has confirmed that the Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 has approved Beuran Hendricks as a replacement player for Dale Steyn in the South Africa squad for the remainder of the tournament.
Steyn has suffered a second shoulder injury which has ruled him out of bowling for the foreseeable future.
His replacement Hendricks is a left-arm fast bowler.
The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the replacement player can be officially added to the squad.
The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 consists of Geoff Allardice (ICC, ETC chairman), Campbell Jamieson (ICC representative), Steve Elworthy (CWC representative), Alan Fordham (host representative), Harsha Bhogle and Kumar Sangakkara (both independent representatives).
