There has been a rise in crime rates in South Africa since the start of level 3 lockdown which was enforced in the country on June 1.

The 36-year-old pacer had announced his retirement from Tests last year to focus on limited overs cricket. He took 439 wickets in 93 Tests at 22.95. In ODIs and T20s, he has captured 196 and 64 wickets respectively.

The South African pace spearhead was also set to represent Royal Challengers Bangalore in his third stint at the IPL franchise, but the cash-rich league was indefinitely postponed. However, there is a glimmer of hope that the tournament will be rescheduled soon.
