Steven Finn has been added to the England squad for the Test series in South Africa after recovering from a foot injury.

The pace bowler was initially ruled out of the tour after he picked up a bone stress injury during the Test series against Pakistan in October.

Now, though, Finn has recovered and will join up with his senior teammates in Potchefstroom ahead of tomorrow's first tour match against a South Africa Invitational XI.

For the past few days, Finn has been in the United Arab Emirates, where he took part in two Twenty20 matches against Pakistan A.

"I've been really pleased with the way things have gone with the Lions," said Finn. "I've bowled my overs and my foot has come through fine. I'm excited by the prospect of linking up with the team out in South Africa."

England's first Test against South Africa will begin on Boxing Day in Durban.
