    Star South African spinner decides to opt out of central contract to pursue playing franchise cricket

    Tabraiz Shamsi opt out of central contract

    Cricket is growing at a rapid pace, and every cricketer wants to grab every opportunity that comes his way. That is why we have seen in the recent past where cricketers have decided to take early retirements or decline the country’s central contract to play franchise leagues around the world. Trent Boult, Kane Williamson, and Devon Conway are some prime examples, and now this list will include another big name.

    Star South African leg-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi has decided to opt from the central contract from Cricket South Africa (CSA), citing personal reasons. The CSA and the 34-year-old jointly confirmed it through an announcement on Thursday. Shamsi opened up about his decision and said that he has taken it to look after his family. However, he also confirmed that he would be available whenever the cricket board wants him to play.

    Cricket South Africa (CSA) and Proteas Men's spinner Tabraiz Shamsi have today jointly announced that the 34-year-old has decided to opt out of his national contract, effective immediately.

    — Proteas Men (@ProteasMenCSA) October 3, 2024

    Tabraiz Shamsi opts out of CSA’s central contract to pursue his career in franchise T20 leagues.

    South Africa are currently in the UAE, where they are playing a white-ball series against Ireland. The Proteas have gone with a number of young spinners, and Shamsi is playing in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League 2024. However, his decision came as a shock to many because he still has 2-3 good years of cricket left in him.

    In a statement released, he said, “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.”

    He also added that his first priority will always be playing for South Africa. Shamsi particularly thanked Enoch Nkwe, Rob Walter, and Dr. Jacques Faul for their helping out in taking the tough decision. Meanwhile, Cricket South Africa (CSA) also welcomes Shamsi’s decision.

    CSA director Enoch Nkwe said, “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. We sincerely appreciate his honesty and openness on the matter, which is integral and what we want from our players.”

    Tabraiz Shamsi made his debut for South Africa in 2016 and represented them in all three formats. He has played two tests, 51 ODIs and 70 T20Is overall. Shamsi has six test, 72 ODIs, and 89 T20I wickets to his name. His last game for South Africa was up against India in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024.
