"I have decided to opt out of my central contract in order to be more flexible during the domestic season, allowing me to explore all opportunities available and look after my family in the best way possible," he said in a CSA statement. "This will not impact 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 home to South Africa, and no franchise league will ever be more important than playing for my country."

Shamsi last played for the Proteas in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup final against India in June, and has not been part of their ongoing tour of the UAE, which includes series against Afghanistan and Ireland.

Since Shamsi is now free from national duties. He'll be available for the all kind of leagues in the world. Earlier this year, pacer Anrich Nortje had also opted out of his central contract, citing that his body wasn't ready for the all three formats of the game, and also cause he wanted to play more in T20 leagues.
