But after the World Cup, I don&#8217;t see myself playing white ball cricket for South Africa. By the time the next World Cup comes, I will be 40,&#8221; Steyn told mediapersons at a promotional event here .<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you look at the (South Africa) batting line-up, our top six have played 1,000 games, but lower half, from eight to eleven who are currently playing, not even 150 games. You need to draw on experience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope that will be my trump card when the selection comes to the World Cup. I may not necessarily play all the time. But I think my experience will help with me just being there,&#8221; the 35-year-old Steyn expressed.<\/p>\n<p>Steyn however said he would love to continue playing Tests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When it comes to Test cricket, I would like to play as long as possible. I have finally come out of a cloud of injuries. I broke my shoulder and in my first game on return (against India at Cape Town), I landed in a foot hole. It was rotten luck,&#8221; the pacer said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s quite difficult to come back from a broken shoulder, especially with your bowling arm. I feel that&#8217;s (injury) gone and now I am fit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I played two Test matches without an injury (against Sri Lanka recently), bowled at good pace and never went off the field because of niggles. It&#8217;s a big plus,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai, South Africa pacer Dale Steyn is likely to retire from limited overs cricket after the 2019 World Cup and believes his experience will help him earn a place in the national squad for the mega event in England and Wales. &#8220;I will be trying to get to that World Cup (in England).
