Klaasen retired from international cricket in June 2025 after helping South Africa reach the 2024 T20 World Cup final. The batter is currently playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2026. He scored an unbeaten 65 off 30 balls against the Mumbai Indians (MI), hitting four sixes and seven boundaries to chase 244 runs.
“South Africa have never won a cricket world cup! There should be a phone call this morning, from the South African cricket board, to Heinrich Klaasen, to ask him if he can rejoin international cricket and be a central figure in their campaign to try and win their first ever world cup which will be in South Africa next year,” Pietersen wrote on X.
