Steyn was injured during the eleventh edition of Indian Premier League and has already missed the first two games of the World Cup. 

Now, the Faf du Plessis-led side is gearing up to face the two-time World Cup winner, Team India on June 5. 

On Monday, Steyn was bowling in the nets during the practice session but it was just not enough to make a comeback.
