Dale Steyn joins Melbourne Stars in Big Bash

Cape Town - Proteas legend Dale Steyn has joined the Melbourne Stars ahead of the 2019/20 edition of Australia's Big Bash League

The franchise confirmed the news on its Twitter page on Tuesday. 

Steyn, who returned home for this year's Cricket World Cup without playing a game thanks to a shoulder injury, recently retired from Test cricket but remain committed to white ball cricket for the Proteas. 

He will join former Proteas team-mate AB de Villiers, who has signed for the Brisbane Heat, in Australia. 

Chris Morris, meanwhile, will play for the Sydney Thunder.
