South Africa cricket great Dale Steyn shared an open message for the Nepal team after their tough fight against strong England. England just managed to win by 4 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Nepal was about to trigger an upset today (February 8), which could be a historic moment for Nepalese cricket and for the entire cricket community as well. The England vs. Nepal match proved that cricket is not only limited to stats or numbers; it is an 11v11 battle where anything can happen.

Dale Steyn Praises Nepal’s Brave Fight and Offers Support After Narrow Loss to England

From the England captain to the cricket fans across the globe, they showed their respect for Nepal. Steyn showed their respect in a different way, with a more open-armed gesture. Through a social media post, the former pacer desired to become a part of the team. Dale Steyn, now 42, retired from all forms of cricket on August 31, 2021, ending a 20-year-long decorative career. With his jaw-breaking quick deliveries, accompanied by sharp seam movements, Steyn concluded his Test career with 439 wickets in 93 matches; he finished with 699 international wickets overall.

"Nepal, I offer my services to you if you ever need em! Up, up and UP!", Dale Steyn wrote this from his official 'X' account on the evening of February 8, after the England vs Nepal match.

Steyn was so impressed that he offered to help the Nepal cricket team himself. Now, his followers on social media platform X are discussing what role he would suit best in the Nepal team. As he is over forty and retired long ago from professional cricket, a coaching role will be the best fit for him. For now, the former pacer is doing the commentary job for the T20 World Cup 2026.
