Tabraiz Shamsi Withdraws From SA20 Due To Personal Reasons, Thomas Kaber Named Replacement
MI Cape Town: Tabraiz Shamsi, the seasoned South African wristspinner and recent MI Cape Town acquisition, will not take part in the upcoming SA20 season after making himself unavailable due to personal circumstances. His withdrawal has opened the door for all-rounder Thomas Kaber, another left-arm wristspinner, who has been drafted in as his replacement.
Kaber re-joins a familiar setup, having been part of the MI Cape Town squad in each of the previous two seasons. During MICT’s championship-winning 2024–25 campaign, he featured in just a single match, while in the 2023–24 season, he appeared in eight games. Across his SA20 career to date, Kaber has delivered in seven bowling innings, claiming 10 wickets at an impressive average of 16.60 and maintaining an economy rate of 8.05.
With the bat, though opportunities have been limited, he has accumulated 34 runs in four innings, remaining not out in three of them. His current form has also been encouraging - playing for the Warriors in the ongoing CSA T20 Challenge, he has picked up seven wickets in six matches, conceding at a frugal 6.31 runs per over and averaging 17.42.
