Tabraiz Shamsi Chooses to Be Out of CSA’s Central Contract

The Chinaman from South Africa, Tabraiz Shamsi, has decided to renounce his core contract with Cricket South Africa (CSA). Following the player’s conversations with the board, the decision was made with mutual consent and is now in effect. If and when they conflict with the international calendar, Shamsi will be able to play in franchise T20 leagues throughout the world by choosing this path. In T20 cricket, the 34-year-old has become a highly sought-after figure in big leagues across the globe.

Despite Shamsi’s decision, he will continue to play a significant role in South Africa’s white-ball ambitions. Because CSA supports Shamsi’s decision, if form and fitness allow him, he will be chosen for important events.

“Shamo is a key member of our white-ball squads, and while we respect his decision, we are pleased that he remains committed to representing South Africa,” said Enoch Nkwe, CSA Director of Cricket. “We sincerely appreciate his honesty and openness on the matter, which is integral and what we want from our players.” 

Shamsi shall also continue his obligations with his home side Titans alongside his Proteas duties. In a formal statement, the wrist spinner explained the reasoning behind this development, saying that he felt it would provide him with more professional options. He committed to continuing his responsibilities towards South Africa and the Titans.
