Tabraiz Shamsi has established himself as the premium spinner in South Africa’s set-up in the shortest format of the game. With some sensational performances under his belt in the past few years, he is occupying second place in the ICC T20I bowlers rankings.
Shamsi was also the second player to be picked by Paarl Royals for a whopping R4.3 million in the SA 20 auction last week. The left-arm wrist spinner is extremely delighted to be provided with the opportunity. He is hoping for the T20 tournament will revolutionise the South African cricket fraternity just like the Indian Premier League did for India.
Though Shamsi is happy to be picked in the auction, his prime focus is to play for South Africa and take them to victory in the T20I World Cup, scheduled in Australia from next month. The bowler is also hoping for a good time for the Proteas during the tour to India.
