Klaasen lashes out at schedule

PLAYERS: SHORTENED SERIES SIMPLY NOT SITTING WELL

- Wesley Botton

They can no longer win the series, but experienced middle-order batter Heinrich Klaasen says the Proteas can take some momentum into the fourth and final T20 International against India, as they aim to hit back at the Wanderers tonight.

With the tourists having won the third game in Centurion on Wednesday, they enter the last fixture with a 2-1 series lead, and the best South Africa can hope for is a 2-2 draw.

Klaasen said the players would have preferred to play a full five-match series, and he lashed out at cricket administrators for organising shortened international tours in recent years.
