Klaasen is currently representing the Manchester Super Giants in the ongoing edition of The Hundred tournament. His team has reached the final of the Men's Hundred competition, where they are scheduled to play against the Trent Rockets on Sunday to compete for the prestigious championship title.
"Retiring from international cricket gave me the freedom to have a break in between these competitions. For the majority of these competitions, I've got about a month, a month and a half, or two months off in between," Klaasen said.
Heinrich Klaasen Targets More Trophies in Franchise Cricket
Heinrich Klaasen also admitted that winning trophies has been difficult during his recent franchise career. He said that his main goal is to maintain his standards despite playing fewer matches than he did during his international career.
"I had a good IPL (624 runs in 15 innings with six fifties); I have had a good start to The Hundred, it was a little bit silent in the middle, but the key was to get some runs under the belt and keep my standard up to what it normally is," he said.
