BAS­SETERRE, St Kitts and Nevis – The St Kitts & Nevis Pa­tri­ots have strength­ened their bowl­ing at­tack with the in­clu­sion of South African duo Tabraiz Sham­si and An­rich Nort­je for the 2024 Re­pub­lic Bank Caribbean Pre­mier League (CPL).

In a re­cent press re­lease, the Pa­tri­ots an­nounced that Sham­si and Nort­je will re­place Sri Lankans Wanidu Hasaranga and Nuwan Thushara, who are no longer avail­able for this year’s tour­na­ment.

Sham­si is no stranger to the CPL or the Pa­tri­ots, hav­ing played 27 match­es for St Kitts & Nevis, where he claimed 33 wick­ets at an out­stand­ing econ­o­my rate of just 7.07.

The left-arm wrist spin­ner has been ranked as the num­ber one T20 bowler in the world in the past and will add wick­et-tak­ing po­ten­tial to the Pa­tri­ots’ line up.

Mean­while, Nort­je brings ad­di­tion­al pace to the Pa­tri­ots. He has an out­stand­ing record in T20 crick­et around the world, hav­ing cap­tured 167 wick­ets at an av­er­age of 21.64 in the for­mat across his 129 match­es.
