Titans pick new keeper as Heinrich Klaasen linked to Test squad call
Heinrich Klaasen’s absence at the Titans training session, while Heino Kuhn and Rivaldo Moonsamy took turns with the gloves, fuelled suspicion that the up-and-coming wicketkeeper will be named in the Proteas’ Test squad for the New Zealand series. While the Knights’ Rudi Second staked his claim, with his 684 Sunfoil Series runs at 52.61 putting him seventh on the run-makers list‚ Klaasen is just behind Second with 635 runs at 48.84. Second made more hundreds (three) compared with Klaasen (one) but it seems to have been the lower-order impact that may have trumped Second’s top-order stability. Either way‚ Titans coach Mark Boucher looked as though he was preparing for life without his No 1 stumper by putting the proven Kuhn and the raw but talented Moonsamy through their paces.
