CT 2025: Klaasen’s fitness yet to be assessed, says SA skipper Bavuma

Rawalpindi, Feb 24: Ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy clash against Australia, South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma said that the fitness of wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen is yet to be assessed, and he is also taking part in the practice session.

Proteas will be aiming to make it two wins in two matches when they take on world champions Australia in a high-octane clash at Rawalpindi. Both teams are coming to the match after wins over Afghanistan and England. Klaasen missed the Afghanistan clash due to a left elbow soft tissue injury.

Speaking on Klaasen's fitness ahead of the match in the pre-match presser, Bavuma said, "They still have to assess his fitness there is obviously still the practice today, so he will do his practice today. Mainly he is batting, and I guess he and the medical team will make a decision accordingly."
