Hashim Amla has resigned as South
Africa Test skipper on Wednesday
(January 6) with immediate effect,
after the second Test against England
in Cape Town ended in a draw. AB de
Villiers takes over as captain for the
remainder of the series.
The 32-year-old, who took the Test
baton from Graeme Smith in June
2014, has been under pressure as his
slump in batting form coincided with
South Africa's 3-0 drubbing in India.
Amla has captained in 14 Tests - with
four wins, six draws and four loses.
Amla managed just 251 runs in 12
innings in 2015 at a paltry average of
22.81 and reckoned that he could be of
greater value to the team as a 'fully
focussed batsman'. More on: Hashim Amla resigns as South Africa Test captain - Cricbuzz
