Tabraiz Shamsi opts out of central contract
South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi has decided to opt out of his central contract with Cricket South Africa (CSA) in order to make himself available for T20 leagues around the world. With this move, Shamsi will be able to participate in the T20 leagues across the world without any limitations. However, Shamsi will remain a key figure in South Africa’s white-ball assignments. In a statement, Shamsi noted that he will always be available for South Africa whenever he is needed.
"I have decided to opt out of my central contract in order to be more flexible during the domestic season, allowing me to explore all opportunities available and look after my family in the best way possible. This will not impact my ability or motivation to play for the Proteas in any way and I will always be available to play for my country whenever I am needed. It has always been my dream to bring the World Cup home to South Africa, and no franchise league will ever be more important than playing for my country,” he said in a CSA statement.
Shamsi last featured for South Africa at the T20I World Cup 2024. Currently, South Africa are in UAE for their series against Afghanistan and Ireland but Shamsi has not been part of the team.
