debut: 3/6/20
4,708 runs

Klassen, South Africa....played almost same number of games.....better average than Pooran in ODI....age difference 3 years....retires just few weeks ahead of Pooran....South Africa is much better team than West Indies...in all formats.....playing test championship final.... reached semis in ODI World Cup....final in T-20..........yet Klassen retires.....

Both retirements, nothing to do with either Boards or Head Coaches..... it's an act to protect their professional interests........free from all international duties, although both were not contracted players....

They are well with their rights, to take decision which is best for themselves and their families.....

Both sides.....Boards and players move on....

Mathew Breetzke, biggest beneficiary, a wicket keeper, set world record scoring 150 in his debut match....

Rutherford & Hety can surely be more relax with their selection...
