Earning big bucks from globetrotting franchise gigs never a temptation: Heinrich Klaasen chose domestic grind to represent country

Just before the pandemic set in March, Mandla Mashimbyi the head coach at the Titans in South Africa, remembers a dejected Heinrich Klaasen showing up at Centurion. Overlooked by the Proteas for over a year, Klaasen had announced himself big time with a man of the series performance in the ODI series against Australia at home. He even scored his maiden century then, before finding his name missing from Cricket South Africa’s annual contract. After missing out on the 2019 World Cup, his career was once again at crossroads even as South Africa had taken baby steps from moving on from big names for the 2023 edition. With domestic T20 leagues sprouting up and normal service resuming post-pandemic, Klaasen could have been easily allured by the big money contracts that came his way. A natural...

Heinrich Klaasen leads South Africa to victory over defending champions with unrelenting century in Wankhede’s steaming furnace

To borrow from Ted Lasso, the Wankhede outfield resembled a ‘Renaissance painting portraying masculine melancholy’.Heinrich Klaasen collapsed near the pitch in slow motion.

A near-capacity turnout at the Wankhede Stadium made it even more piping. While South Africa turned up in red-hot form, England wilted under the sun in the much-anticipated high-voltage clash which turned into a lopsided affair.Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen’s blitzkrieg in the last 10 overs meant South Africa put on 399 for seven, the highest-ever ODI total against England and the second-highest at the venue. Had it not been for Mark Wood wielding the long handle after the Proteas’ pace attack had taken the fizz out of the chase, England would have folded up for a t...

1st ODI: Rassie van der Dussen hits ton as South Africa beat England by 27 runs | Cricket News – Times of India

England opener Jason Roy smashed his way back into form with 113 from 91 balls but the tourists lost from a commanding position as South Africa claimed victory by 27 runs in the first One-Day International at Manguang Oval in Bloemfontein on Friday.The hosts won the toss and elected to bat, posting 298 for seven, their total boosted by 111 from Rassie van der Dussen, before restricting England to 271 all out in their reply.The visitors raced to 146 without loss in the 20th over as they bludgeoned the home bowling attack to all parts of the ground but when Dawid Malan (59) was the first wicket to fall, there was a stutter in England's chase.They were largely undone by poor shot selection at the back end of the innings when calm heads would have seen them comfortably home, losing 10 wicke...
