Dale Steyn Moves from Cape Cobras to the Titans

South African speedster Dale Steyn has moved from Cape Cobras to the Titans, the place where Steyn started off his first-class career in 2003-04.

He took the decision ahead of the South African domestic season. Arguably the greatest fast bowler of his generation, Steyn is in the process of a comeback after being sidelined due to a shoulder injury which he sustained during the opening Test against Australia at Perth last November. He also conceded that he was “two or three weeks away from playing my first game.”

“It was an easy decision for me,” Steyn, who was there with the Cobras for seven years was quoted as saying by the Titans Website. “The luxury of playing for South Africa is that you get to nominate which franchise you want to play for. The Titans laid down the platform for where I am now.

“I think the most important thing that I learnt at the Titans were the basics and it is something I still go back to every time I play international cricket. It was a great place to start playing cricket, and it’s going to be a great place to go back to.

“I played some of my best cricket at SuperSport Park. When you go into that change room, and you look at those honours boards, you’ll see my name a couple of times on the five-wicket haul list. I walk in there, and I feel at home. I am really looking forward to going back,” Steyn said.

While it is still not known when he will be fully fit but Steyn will be hopeful of the fact that he recuperates before South Africa’s next assignment against Bangladesh starting from September 28. The fast-bowler expressed his confidence at returning to the playing arena sooner than later.

He was also excited about the prospect of sharing the dressing room with former South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher who happens to be the coach of the Titans.

“It is going to be fantastic working with him again,” Steyn said. “As a player, I looked up to him. He knows me so well, he knows me as a person and also knows about my bowling action, so I am looking forward to that, especially after this long delay with the broken shoulder,” Steyn said.
