Matthew Breetzke's presence is still pending, according to CSA.
Ashton Agar, an Australian spin, will be back for their power Blast quarter-final against Somerset, Northamptonshire have confirmed.
Agar joined after the T20 World Cup and helped Northants to four gets out of five as they qualified from the North Group in second place after Sikandar Raza's signing in the group stage.
The team are even working to try and bring up Matthew Breetzke, the South Africa opening who is already Northants ' leading run-scorer in this year's Blast, with 460 at a strike rate of 153.84- although head coach, John Sadler, said the decision was in the hands of Cricket South Africa.
Breetzke was lately involved on South Africa's Test journey of West Indies but is not part of the club now playing a three-match T20I line.
" We're hopeful that Matt will be able to get over but we're not certain how that's going to dish out", Sadler said. " We certainly want to get him up because he's been amazing for us but we'll see how it unfolds.
" It's a condition that is out of our and Matt's arms to be honest. I know he's desperate to come up but he's on the point of playing for South Africa in all three forms so that's rightly his main drivers.
" I even know that he's glad to travel in, perform, and fly up out," he said, adding that we'll have to bargain with Cricket South Africa about that.
Agar, who chose to work for himself earlier this year, will be available after finishing a stay at the Global T20 Canada, which will strengthen Northants ' options ahead of a sold-out match at Wantage Road against the defending champions on September 5.
" Ashton is in, he's booked to come back and he's very excited", Sadler said. He has traveled to Canada to play a game with his family before returning home, which is "absolutely overjoyed" for us.
