I love doing magic – Tabraiz Shamsi

He took the cricketing world by storm with his magic-trick celebration in the Mzansi Super League match between Paarl Rocks and Durban Heat. Reacting to the celebration – that saw him convert a piece of cloth into a stick, Shamsi revealed that he always wanted to be a magician.

“I have always been fascinated by magic and different tricks,” Shamsi said on his little piece of trickery on the field: “From the age of about 15 or 16, I wanted to become a magician as it was a hobby of mine. It wasn’t just a phase, but something that really interested me as a small child. I still love it, but cricket obviously took over after that,” he said as per Times now.

Further, the spinner added that entertaining fans in the middle is one of his ways to get pressure off from his shoulders. He also explained that celebrations wouldn’t make any impact on the execution of his plans on the field and vouches to carry on the same.

“We are going to make mistakes out on the field because everybody makes mistakes. The celebrations and tricks do not distract me from doing my job. I am not the first bowler to get hit out of the park, and it is not my magic tricks that make me get hit. Entertaining on the field is just my way of taking the pressure off myself and being able to enjoy things. I feel like when I am myself, I am able to play my best cricket,” he added.

WICKET!
