Steyn set to join Hampshire before international return

Steyn, 34, has spent most of the time away from the field in the last two years because of multiple injuries.

He told SuperSport television that he was close to full fitness after missing the series against Australia following his latest setback, a heel injury suffered in the first Test against India in January.

Steyn is just two short of Shaun Pollock's South African Test record of 421 wickets. He is likely to have another chance to break the record when South Africa tour Sri Lanka in July and August.

With still a month to complete his rehabilitation, South African fast bowler Dale Steyn has revealed his comebacks plans.

Steyn is targeting a stint with English county Hampshire in June as his comeback to competitive cricket.
