Steyn praised the 30-year-old and believes he should even be on the radar of the IPL teams in an injury replacement is required.

Magala has been impressive all season, playing a star role in the Lions’ triumph at the CSA T20 Challenge in Durban.
The Proteas will face Pakistan in four T20I matches, starting at the Wanderers on 10 April.
Very stoked for all the new faces we’ll see represent the Proteas
Big fan of Magala!
Great replacement for any bowling all rounder who gets injured this IPL.
Lizaard Williams also been super impressive the last two or three seasons.
Well done men ?
