velu Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Quote Heinrich Klassen, the South Africa wicket-keeper who made his limited-overs debut in the series against India, has replaced Steve Smith in the Rajasthan Royals side for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018. Smith, who was chosen to captain Rajasthan Royals, was barred from playing the upcoming edition after Cricket Australia (CA) banned him for a year following the ball-tampering scandal during the Cape Town Test against South Africa last month. In a release by RR, Klassen was picked for his base price of Rs 50 lakh from the player pool. “I am thankful to the Rajasthan Royals for giving me this opportunity and making me part of the squad. It would be my first IPL and in fact my first ever visit to India so I am really excited to be teaming up and sharing the dressing room with some great names. I have made it my mission to ensure my performance makes a large impact for my team in the tournament,” said Klaasen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
