In November 2008, he received his first national call-up, with his selection for the test leg of the tour of Australia.[1] He was later selected for the ODI leg as well.[2]
In April 2011, Tsotsobe signed to play as an overseas player for Essex County Cricket Club in English county cricket.[3] His form dipped and after taking five wickets in three first-class matches in the second division of the County Championship he was dropped from the team. In five one-day matches Tsotsobe managed eight wickets. He expressed his frustration at the situation, remarking that the time he spent with Essex was "the worst two months [of his] life".[4]
In April 2016, he was charged by Cricket South Africa (CSA) with corruption in relation to matches in the 2015–16 Ram Slam T20 Challenge.[5] He was suspended from all cricket as a result.[5] In July 2017, following the completion of the corruption investigation, he was banned for eight years.[6]
