“I would like to thank my parents for their prayers‚ love and support. It is their shadow over me that enabled me to play for years under the Protea sun.”

South Africa suffered their second major retirement in four days on Thursday when Hashim Amla ended his international career.Taken together‚ that takes 442 caps out of South Africa’s collective experience.

Typical of the thoughtful player he has been in his 15 years in the world game‚ Amla signed off with‚ “Love and peace.”He scored 9 282 runs at an average of 46.64 and with 28 centuries in 215 Test innings. Amla also owns the highest scores for South Africa against India‚ West Indies and‚ post-isolation‚ Australia.

Steyn’s and Amla’s decisions were no doubt informed by their experiences at the men’s World Cup in England from May to July.
