The Cricket South Africa took their official social media handle to confirm the development on Tuesday. Pacer Beuran Hendricks has been named Steyn’s replacement.
Here’s the post:
In a statement released by the Proteas said Steyn “has suffered a second shoulder injury which has not responded to treatment and has ruled him out of bowling for the foreseeable future”.
The pacer had limped off the field with hamstring trouble after the end of the seventh over against Bangladesh in the match which saw Proteas lose by 21 runs. It was later confirmed that he would not take the ball again for the rest of the game and had been ruled out of the match.
Team manager Mohammed Moosajee had also confirmed that Ngidi would be forced to miss South Africa's clash against India. "He was assessed and clinically we felt that he had a left hamstring strain," the ICC website quoted Moosajee as saying. "We decided not to let him go out there and bowl any further in this match.
"So currently, it probably means that he'll be out for about a week to 10 days, but we'll have scans done tomorrow. The plan will be probably to get him ready for the West Indies match."
South Africa will be chasing their first win of the tournament on Wednesday when they take on India.
