Steyn may cut Bangladesh tour short─── 08:25 Wed, 13 May 2015
Proteas strike bowler, Dale Steyn has hinted at cutting his tour with the national side to Bangladesh in July short.
The fiery fast bowler suggested that he may not be available for the entire duration of the tour as he looks to manage his workload, with his sights set on another Cricket World Cup.
It could leave South Africa without several senior players for their two T20 Internationals, three One-Day Internationals and two Tests against Bangladesh.
As it stands AB de Villiers, JP Duminy and Morné Morkel are all set to miss a part of the tour, with all three expecting the birth of their first children.
Steyn has been putting out fires via the social media platform Twitter after being quoted as saying: "At this stage of my career, I’d rather be saving myself to go and participate in the major tournaments, rather than wasting the few balls I have left in my career in a Bangladesh match.
Steyn tweet that this quote had been taken out of context and it had nothing to do with Bangladesh as a team, but rather he choice as as player.
