Pakistan had made strict security arrangements for the teams participating in the Champions Trophy. Many protocols were built, due to which it became difficult for the players to leave the hotel. He was living in stress and security had become a cause of trouble for him. Perhaps this is why the players of South Africa did not complain despite traveling about 3000 kilometers before a crucial match like semi -finals. On the contrary, he expressed happiness for the journey from Karachi to Dubai and Dubai to Lahore. South African batsman Henrik Klassen has opened the whole truth of Pakistan after spending about 18 hours in Dubai.
Dubai has been made the base of Team India in the Champions Trophy. However, other teams are having some difficulty in playing matches with India. They have to travel to Dubai. Questions are also being raised about this. But South African team player Henrik Klassen has expressed happiness over this. According to the Cricbuzz report, he has told before the semi -finals that the players of his team had to stay locked in the hotel due to security reasons. But before the semi -finals, the opportunity to leave Pakistan and go to Dubai proved to be a boon for him. The players were able to roam freely and got a chance to relax.
Klassen said in the press conference, 'We knew that he might have to visit Dubai. This is not good for the body, but at least we got some time to get out and walk and relax. We spent some good time. But we knew that this was going to happen. It was part of the scheduling that two teams of Group B would have to do so and we were one of them. We did not travel much in this tournament and had to travel to Dubai for the match. But these 18 hours were fantastic. At least we got time to spread our feet and recover before coming back. I think our body will now be in better position than New Zealand.
The venue of South Africa's semi -final match was based on India and New Zealand. If New Zealand had won its last group match against India, it would have become number-1 in Group A. Then he would compete with Australia. At the same time, South Africa, which topped his group, had to stay in Dubai itself and on March 4, he had a collision with the Indian team at number two in Group B. But Team India won the match and went to the top in their group. So Australia, who was second in Group B stopped there, while South Africa had to come back to Lahore.
