Earlier, Steyn had hinted that he might not be available for the upcoming one-day international away series against Bangladesh in July, as he wants to be fully fit for the next World Cup.  

The world number one Test bowler said that at this stage of his career he wants to save his energy for major tournaments, rather than wasting his 'last few balls' in Bangladesh.  

Steyn's comment led to an uproar among the Bangladeshi fans, who took social media to show their resentment. South Africa will tour Bangladesh in July for two T20s, three ODIs and two Tests.
