5 reasons why Dale Steyn should retire from limited overs cricket

#1 Prolongation of Test career

There are qualities that always make a difference between the good and the exceptional. In limited overs cricket, Steyn has performed well, but in Test cricket, he has bettered the best for a prolonged time span. In the limited overs team, he has been in and out while he has been an inextricable part of the Test team.

I dare say that Steyn has earned most of his accolades and appreciation by playing for the Test side. He likes the longest format of the game where very few batsmen get on top of him and end up succumbing to his prowess with the red cherry.

At this stage of his career, in the stranglehold of injuries, Steyn has much to offer in Test cricket than in the 50 over and 20 over format. It will also eliminate fatigue, which will eventually turn out fruitful for the Proteas Test setup, where he can unleash his expertise with heart and soul.
