The Proteas paceman has been battling a shoulder injury and was declared unfit to play by coach Ottis Gibson.

“He is not quite ready yet,” Gibson said. “He is getting closer everyday; we hope that if not by Sunday [against Bangladesh] then by the India game [he will be fit].”

In Steyn’s absence, fellow seamers Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi should be available for selection after playing in recent warm-up matches.

On the contrary, England have had positive injury news on the fitness of Eoin Morgan, Adil Rashid and Mark Wood, who are all available for Thursday’s clash.
