Heinrich Klaasen will tap into the experience of senior players like Albie Morkel and AB de Villiers during the Mzansi Super League.
The 28-year-old Klaasen, who has replaced former Proteas captain De Villiers as leader of the side, said he will take a relaxed approach to his leadership role while at the same time seeking guidance whenever necessary.
“I have spent a lot of time with Albie Morkel, really picking his brain about the way he captains. I think he’s been one of our best captains in SA, the way he sums up the game, handles the pressure. I have really learnt a lot from him in the last four seasons.”“I had a conversation with Boucher. He said I got fired from the previous job as Titans captain, so I can get a chance here. I am looking forward to this, especially with guys who have heaps of experience around the world,” he said.
“I have coached in a number of these competitions and to have your international players here five days before the start of the tournament is massive.
