Fast bowler Dale Steyn has been left out of Cricket South Africa’s national contract list for the 2020-21 season, while pacer Beuran Hendricks has been awarded his first national contract.

“We have contracted 16 men’s players and 14 women’s players which we feel is the appropriate number to maintain our national squads across the formats,” CSA Acting Chief Executive Dr Jacques Faul said.
