Heinrich Klaasen back in Proteas squad
Brilliant Titans batsman/wicketkeeper, Heinrich Klaasen, is going to have another chance to prove himself at test level after he was called up to join the Proteas for a series of three tests in October.
The Titans all-rounder, Heinrich Klaasen will soon be back in national colours, after a period in which he seemed not to be in favour with the national selectors.
Klaasen, a wicketkeeper/batsman will replace Rudi Second, one of the new caps in the Proteas Test squad to play three Tests in India in October.
Second has suffered an injury while practising with the South Africa A side that will require immediate surgery and he has consequently been ruled out of the touring party.
“Klaasen is part of the one-day squad for the South Africa A tour and he will now be added to the squad in Second’s place for the four-day series that will assist his preparation for the Proteas Test series,” said CSA Acting Director of Cricket Corrie van Zyl.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also announced the switching of venues for the Test section of the tour. The second Test match will now be played at Pune and the final one at Ranchi.
