RCB stint to blame for cricketer's exit from World Cup? - Faf du Plessis
Home > News Shots > Sports newsSouth African pacer Dale Steyn was ruled out of the World Cup due to shoulder pain. This has put South Africa in a tough spot.
When asked about it, South Africa's skipper Fa du Plessis said, “Dale has struggled really hard to get back into the team. It’s been a tough two-year, two-and-a-half years for him and he would need support right now. It’s important that us as the team and the management make sure there’s things in place for him to assist him, to be there for him. He needs love at the moment.”
“It’s a tough time for him. He’s tried really hard to get fit for this campaign. He was bowling unbelievably well in the lead-up to this tournament and the IPL he was at his best. Unfortunately, it happened there in the IPL in those two games that he played there,” du Plessis added.
He didn't directly blame the IPL but he went on to say that, “Had he not been picked up for IPL, who knows where Dale would have been right now. We can’t control that. So, it is important for me that we make sure that we are there for him because I know he’s been trying hard to make sure he is ready to try and make an impact on which will be his last World Cup,” reports Circle of Cricket.
