I want to wish the squad all the best for the coming season," Amla said.Amla, who retired from international cricket in August 2019 but remained active for Surrey, was due to turn out for Western Province in South Africa's revamped domestic structure.

I want to thank Hashim and his representatives for the open interaction over these past couple of weeks. We all know Hashim is one of our greatest ever players in South Africa and we would have loved nothing more than to see him representing WP, but we fully understand his reasoning and wish him luck with whatever comes next for him and his family."A replacement in the squad of 16 contracted players will be announced in due course, WPCA stated.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
