Beyers Swanepoel's county cricket career faced a major setback after Cricket South Africa denied his No-Objection Certificate (NOC) for his Worcestershire contract. The decision came after Swanepoel left his domestic team Lions mid-match during their One Day Cup final against Titans to travel to England for the County Championship. He now faces disciplinary proceedings from both CSA and Titans for bringing the game into disrepute, and it is unlikely CSA will grant his NOC, forcing him to choose between his South African domestic career and his county stint.
