CAPE TOWN: South Africa have added fast bowler Marchant de Lange to their squad for the final two Test matches in India as concerns remain over the fitness of attack spearhead Dale Steyn.

Trailing the four-match series 1-0, Steyn missed this week’s washed-out second Test in Bangalore and is still working his way back from a groin injury ahead of the third match in Nagpur starting on Wednesday.

“At the moment we only have three fit seamers in Morne Morkel, Kagiso Rabada and Kyle Abbott, so with Dale still struggling with a groin injury, we decided to bring Marchant in as cover,” coach Russell Domingo said.

De Lange was part of the T20 squad for the earlier part of the tour and has played in two Tests.
