5 reasons why Dale Steyn should retire from limited overs cricket

#2 Emergence of energetic bowlers

When Steyn came into the limelight, he was deemed as an electrifying prospect for South Africa. A spring chicken, he never curbed on his instincts, but time has moved on and the man from Phalaborwa isn’t quite the same man at the age of 33.

South Africa has recently thumped Sri Lanka in the ODI series by taking an unassailable lead of 3-0 in the series. The likes of Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada and Dwayne Pretorius have gelled well on wickets, which are not conducive to fast bowling.

The spinners have combined well with the pacers to fetch wins for the Proteas in ODI’s and T20s. The current crop of bowlers is promising enough to take forward South African cricket. Though he holds a strong reputation, it won’t be easy for Steyn to make a comeback in the limited overs team.
