Champions Trophy: Klassen To Captain SA As Markram Goes Off Due To Hamstring Issue
Wicketkeeper Heinrich Klassen: Wicketkeeper Heinrich Klassen will captain South Africa in the remainder of their 2025 Champions Trophy Group B match against England here on Saturday as Aiden Markram won’t be on the field for the rest of the game due to a right hamstring issue.
Broadcast visuals from Saturday’s ongoing game at the National Stadium in Karachi showed Markram going off the field soon after making a tremendous diving save at mid-off. An update from Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed that Markram will be back on the field to lead the Proteas.
"Aiden Markram is experiencing discomfort in his right hamstring. As a precaution, he will not field for the remainder of the innings and will bat only if required. Heinrich Klaasen will captain for the rest of the match,” said the CSA.
