The trading window for this year has already closed on November 15 and it saw a couple of players has been released or traded form one team to another team. However, Royal Challengers Bangalore was one such team that have released 12 players go in the trading window and retained just two foreign players – AB de Villiers and Moeen Ali. They released the player like Dale Steyn who had played just two games in IPL 2019 before getting injured in his shoulder and leaving the league.

A big reason for Steyn being released by RCB was also his fitness issues. Since 2016, he has been suffering from shoulder and ankle issues. A shoulder injury in Australia left him from cricket for a year after having surgery on it. Again he returned to cricket in 2018 against India at home, but his ankle injury left him out of the squad.

However, a fan asked Steyn on Twitter during a Q&A session in which team would he like to play in IPL 2020. The fan shared, “Dale, honestly which team do you want to play for in IPL 2020?”, to which Steyn humorously replied, “Whoever can afford me”

Dale Steyn is currently playing in Mzansi Super League and has signed for the upcoming Big Bash League tournament in Australia as well. Despite being his full fitness, Dale Steyn hasn’t been picked by the selectors for any of the series.
