The 25-year-old started out the campaign as the first choice, but after conceding 11 in seven matches, he was then dropped with Bruce Bvuma having since taken over after a brief spell with Brandon Petersen between the posts.
His last appearance was on November 2, 2024, and he has now surpassed 20 weeks since he last played.
For all these troubles, Ntwari has kept his place in the national team.
