Heinrich Klaasen

Heinrich Klaasen (born 30 July 1991) is a South African first-class cricketer. He was included in the Northerns cricket team squad for the 2015 Africa T20 Cup.

Shukri Conrad, South Africa's National Academy coach believes that Klaasen could become South Africa's equivalent of MS Dhoni. In September 2015, he said, "Heinrich stays very calm in the situation. He stays in the moment. There’s very much a ‘poor man’s MS Dhoni’ about him. There are really no sideshows to his game and really takes the game to the opposition. He doesn’t wait for the game to come to him and that is what I like most about him. He is as tough as they come."

In February 2017, he was named in South Africa's Test squad for their series against New Zealand, but did not play. In August 2017, he was named in Nelson Mandela Bay Stars' squad for the first season of the T20 Global League.
