News about Hashim Amla

Australia cricket players have been seen celebrating their thrilling Ashes victory in the pub where David Warner threw a punch at Joe Root - and some English fans are outraged. It's been a decade since Australia's fiery opener punched the England batsman in Birmingham's Walkabout bar following Australia's Champions Trophy loss to Edgbaston. Warner had been enraged by 'little things that went on throughout the night,' but Root put a green and gold wig on his chin, which the opening batsman interpreted as insulting South Africa's Hashim Amla.

Hashim Amla, a South African legend, has announced his retirement from international cricket, leaving Surrey with a substantial void to fill for the 2023 season. The 39-year-old, who scored more than 18,000 runs for the Pros, called time on his international career in 2019, but he has played for Surrey and helped bring the LV= County Championship title to the Kia Oval last summer. In September, Amla scored the last of his 57 first-class centuries for the Brown Caps against Northamptonshire, but he has declined to participate in their title defense.

Australia defied the advice of former skipper Ian Chappell to always bat first, choosing to bowl on a Gabba green top and ripping through the South African top order in the first Test in Brisbane
