Cricket South Africa has revealed that Proteas' spinner Tabraiz Shamsi has decided to opt out of his national contract, effective immediately.
Tabraiz Shamsi feels the Proteas are now "looking forward" to tight matches after qualifying for the T20 World Cup semi-final following a thrilling win against hosts West Indies.
The Proteas avoided a historic upset at the T20 World Cup in Kingstown on Friday as they beat Nepal by a single run thanks to a run-out off the last ball of the match.
The Proteas squad heading to the 2024 T20 World Cup is packed full of talent.
Proteas spinner Tabraiz Shamsi believes the key to a strong national team lies in mass participation in global T20 leagues such as the Indian Premier League, SA20, and others.
The Proteas will be eager to continue their form at the 2023 Cricket World Cup when they face New Zealand on Wednesday.
