England include Steven Finn for South Africa tour

Steven Finn will join England in Potchefstroom on Monday, but is not being considered for the following day's warm-up match against a South Africa Invitational XI.

Pace bowler Steven Finn has been added to England's Test squad for the tour of South Africa after recovering from a foot injury.

Finn developed a bone stress injury during the early stages of the Test series against Pakistan in October but recovered enough to play in the last two Twenty20 matches against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.

The 26-year-old Finn says "I've been really pleased with the way things have gone with the Lions. I've bowled my overs and my foot has come through fine."

Finn will join England in Potchefstroom on Monday, but is not being considered for the following day's warm-up match against a South Africa Invitational XI.

The first Test in Durban starts on December 26.
