In the cricket world, the interest of players in T20 leagues has been increasing for some time now. Due to playing more and more T20 leagues, many star players have left the central contract given by their cricket boards. Recently, some New Zealand players left the central contract, which included players like Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, and Finn Allen. Now an important player from South Africa has also decided to leave the central contract, which has surprised everyone.

South Africa's left-arm spinner Tabrez Shamsi has decided to exit his central contract with Cricket South Africa with immediate effect. This means that he will now be able to play in T20 leagues around the world without any hindrance. However, he will also be available to play for South Africa and will be seen playing in big tournaments.

Talking about his decision, Tabrez Shamsi said, 'I have decided to opt out of my central contract to be more flexible during the domestic season, which will allow me to explore all the available opportunities and take good care of my family. This will not affect 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 to South Africa, and no franchise league will be more important than playing for my country.'

It is believed that Tabrez Shamsi has taken this decision due to Cricket South Africa's interference in the T20 league. Cricket South Africa had excluded him from the PSL to be held in Pakistan earlier this year so that he could play for the Titans in the CSA T20 Challenge, which is Africa's domestic T20 competition. Due to this decision, Shamsi could play only 4 matches for Karachi Kings and he had to lose the match fee for the remaining six matches. Recently, something similar was seen during the CPL as well. He had to miss some matches of the CPL due to attending the CSA awards ceremony. During this too, he had to lose the match fee of some matches.
