Watch: Know why Tabraiz Shamsi took his own Cricket South Africa board (CSA) to court
Know why the left-arm wrist spinner of the South Africa side, Tabraiz Shamsi, took his won board- Cricket South Africa (CSA) to court for this shocking reason as it makes a significant moment.
The Gauteng High Court has ruled against Cricket South Africa (CSA) in favour of their left-arm wrist spinner, Tabraiz Shamsi, which has been a landmark judgement to show the interest of the players over the global game. Shami has played 127 international games across formats and withdrew his SA20 contract with MI Cape Town in order to play the ILT20 and the Big Bash League (BBL).
Shami was signed by the franchise for USD 29000 approx. But he has given a personal issue for his withdrawal. He breached the terms of his auction agreement in doing so. He was signed for the Gulf Gants and was granted a NOC by CSA, which ran until December 19, midway through the ILT20. But the court has extended the NOC for Shamsi till January 04.

“I am grateful that the Court recognized the urgency of my situation and granted interim relief. I was reluctant to take this matter to court, but it became necessary to bring certainty and resolve a situation that could not be resolved in any other way.” Shamsi expressed in a statement by his management company.

After the end of the ILT20, Shamsi will arrive in Australia to feature for the Adelaide Strikers. CSA, however, will take the next course of action after studying the judgment, as issuing the NOCs has become a significant subject in recent years, with various franchise leagues around the world.

“Shamsi was not granted an NOC to participate in another T20 league due to SA20 contractual stipulations. CSA has issued the NOC based on the interim relief and will study the court's decision to grant the same before deciding on the way forward.” Pholetsi Moseki, the CSA CEO, addressed ESPNcricinfo.
“I have always taken immense pride in representing South Africa and remain fully committed and available to play for my country whenever called upon. Representing South Africa has been the greatest honour of my professional career.” Shamsi added in a statement that he is now unlikely to feature in SA20 in the future.
