SA Will Miss Him Was at Chepauk for SA vs Pakistan at the 2023 World Cup. The reception Klaasen got when he came out to bat... It was the kind of noise you only get with your Indian demigods. I hope he takes the decision back, but if not, some player. SA will miss him at the next two World Cups. — Sarthak Dev (@devellix) June 2, 2025 Thank You For the Memories Heinrich Klaasen bids farewell to international cricket a warrior behind the stumps and with the bat. Thank you for the memories, Klaasy! pic.twitter.com/c9xJ0W78c5 — SunRisers OrangeArmy Official (@srhfansofficial) June 2, 2025 What A Player! Two WCs in the next two years, one at home. Thought that would keep Klaasen going but not to be. International cricket is now devoid of one of its great modern-day entertainers. What a player! #CricketTwitter — Soorya Sesha (@sooryasesha7) June 2, 2025 Wishing You the Best happy retirement! wishing you the best klaasen! pic.twitter.com/byXYFy4NFH — p.
