Hashim Amla: A rock in defence, blissful in attack

Revered for his graft and toil in tough periods, but also a modern record-setter in the faster formats, Hashim Amla’s tally of almost 19,000 international runs for South Africa has been recognised with his induction into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

With 55 international centuries to his name, and selected six times across ICC Team of the Year selections across formats, Amla is regarded as one of the first three-format greats.

On the occasion, Amla was thankful for the recognition.

"It is an honour to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, especially alongside Graeme.

"The Hall of Fame includes some of the most celebrated players in the history of cricket, all of whom have big achievements. Such recognition feels surreal, and I am really thankful."
