The 30-year-old Steyn featured in the second Test, which South Africa won by an innings and 92 runs on Saturday, despite suffering from a hamstring injury three days before the match.
He showed no signs of discomfort and took four wickets in the match but the team management decided to rest Steyn in the first two matches in Sharjah (October 30) and in Dubai (November 1). ‘Steyn is being rested for the first two one-days, and will return back to South Africa before joining up with the squad for the remainder of the series as well as the T20 series,’ said team manager Mohammed Moosajee.
Steyn will be available for the third match in Abu Dhabi on 6 November, the fourth match (also in Abu Dhabi on 8 November) and the fifth match in Sharjah (11 November).
