Melbourne, Feb 18 (IANS) South African cricket team's pace spearhead Dale Steyn is down with flu that has forced him to miss his team's multiple training sessions.
Steyn complained of a blocked nose and sore throat after South Africa's World Cup tournament opening match against Zimbabwe Sunday, reported cricket-specific website ESPNcricinfo Wednesday.
Steyn picked up 1/64 from nine overs in his team's 62-run win against Zimbabwe.
Steyn, reportedly, has been unwell from the beginning of their campaign and participated half-heartedly in the practice sessions ahead of the match against Zimbabwe, bowling with a short run-up.
