CPL 2024: Nortje and Shamsi Join Patriots, Replacing Thushara and Hasaranga

Due to injuries sustained during the recent white-ball series against India, Wanindu Hasaranga and Nuwan Thushara from Sri Lanka will be unable to compete for St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in CPL 2024.

Patriots have signed Tabraiz Shamsi and Anrich Nortje as replacements for Hasaranga and Thushara.

While slinger Thushara was ruled out of the entire series with a finger injury, Hasaranga played all three T20Is and the first ODI before being sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Nortje is yet to make his CPL debut but Shamsi is a familiar name at the league, having played 32 games, including 27 for Patriots. Shamsi has taken 33 wickets in those matches for Patriots at an economy rate of 7.06.

Nortje and Shamsi will reunite with their South Africa team-mate Tristan Stubbs at Patriots. The side had finished last in CPL 2023, with just a solitary win in ten games.
