Rassie van der Dussen, the veteran South African batter, seems to be predicting his retirement in the coming future. Even though he has played all formats for his country, he presently is sticking with the longer format of the white-ball cricket. And presently, he feels that the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy might be his last ICC tournament. Speaking from Karachi, the 36-year-old batter said, "It's definitely a possibility that it's my last ICC tournament. I'm not saying that with any preconceived ideas that I'll call time on it or management will call time on my career. It's just the reality." South Africa is in Pakistan for their third Champions Trophy league match against England on February 29 at the National Stadium in Karachi. They secured a win over Afghanistan, while their second match was washed out. A victory against England will confirm their spot in the semifinals.

He acknowledged the fierce competition for spots, emphasizing that no player, including himself, is guaranteed a place as a strong squad pushes everyone to improve. He added, "It's such a great thing that there's so many young players coming through, guys really playing well. A guy like Tristan Stubbs, he's sitting on the sidelines. Or Tony de Zorzi. And even if you go into the domestic structure, Matthew Breetzke came in and made that 150. You can even go further back, Lhuan-dre Pretorius just made hundred against Western Province in the one-day cup. Ryan's [Rickelton] only starting out now actually so there's so many good players. I'm not blind to the possibility that if I don't perform that someone won't be there to take my place. I certainly don't expect any preferential treatment because I think in a healthy environment, guys push each other organically and that pushes everyone to be better." Rassie van der Dussen has featured in 18 Test matches, 69 ODIs, and 50 T20Is, accumulating 905, 2,516, and 1,257 runs, respectively.
