South Africa’s wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen has announced retirement from Test cricket with immediate effect. Notably, head coach Shukri Conrad had recently stated that the cricketer is likely to feature in Tests later this year after preferred Kyle Verreynne over Klaasen for the recently concluded two-match Test series against India. Klaasen played only four Test matches for South Africa between 2019 and 2023 scoring 104 runs in eight innings at an average of 13 with no fifty or hundred to his name.
