South African batter Henrich Klaasen, who is one of the world’s most destructive batters in white-ball cricket, announces retirement from international cricket.
South African batter Henrich Klaasen makes a shock exit from all forms of international cricket on Monday (June 2, 2025).
The decision comes as a blow for the country ahead of their co-hosting of the 2027 World Cup, where he would have been a major draw card.
Klaasen, 33, is one of the world’s most destructive batters in white-ball cricket and a mainstay of the South African limited-overs side in recent years.
Klaasen averaged 43.69 with four centuries and 11 fifties in 60 one-day internationals, and scored exactly 1,000 runs in 58 T20 internationals at a strike rate of 141.84. He also played four test matches for South Africa.
