Dale Steyn<\/a> has been diagnosed with a mild left side strain, after complaining of tightness during the Proteas<\/a>\u2018 warm-up match against Pakistan at The Oval on Monday. Steyn left the field to receive treatment after bowling five overs, and a subsequent MRI scan confirmed the injury.<\/p>\n

Proteas Team Manager, Dr Mohammed Moosajee explained: \u201cDale complained of some discomfort during the warm-up match against Pakistan on Monday and because of the sensitive nature of the affected area he was subsequently taken for an MRI scan which revealed mild swelling in a left intercostal muscle, in the region of the 11th and 12th rib.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this stage we are unable to determine whether he will be available for the first match against India in Cardiff, however, we will be assessing and treating intensively on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cRobin Peterson<\/a> suffered a hit to his left foot while batting yesterday. He experienced some swelling and was advised not to bowl during the match as a precaution, he has however responded well to treatment overnight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quinton de Kock<\/a> has joined the squad as cover for wicket-keeper AB de Villiers<\/a>. De Kock is not an official member of South Africa\u2019s ICC Champions Trophy<\/a> squad, but will travel with the squad for the tournament.<\/p>\n
