Glamorgan have confirmed the signing of the South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn for a seven-match stint in the NatWest T20 Blast. Steyn will join the team after completing the ongoing IPL season with Gujarat Lions. Glamorgan are scheduled to start their tournament against Surrey on May 26 - Steyn may have to miss the match if Lions make it as far as the IPL's second Qualifier on May 27 or the final on May 29.
Steyn's decision to play for Glamorgan leaves him potentially at odds with CSA, his home board. South Africa had left Steyn out of their ODI squad for a triangular series in the West Indies, which begins on June 3, in order to rest him ahead of a Test series against New Zealand in August. The Natwest T20 Blast coincides with the triangular series.
