An elegant, stroke-filled player blessed with the
temperament to make the most of his talent, Hashim Amla is the first
South African of Indian descent to reach the national squad. His
elevation was a poorly kept secret after he reeled off four
centuries in his first eight innings of the 2004-05 season, after
being appointed captain of the Dolphins (formerly Natal) at the
tender age of 21. His older brother by four years, Ahmed, made his
first-class debut two seasons before Hashim, but there is little
doubt that the younger Amla is the better player. He is also a
devout Muslim whose requests to have logos promoting alcohol removed
from his playing gear have been successful so far. Amla toured New
Zealand with the South African Under-19 team in 2000-01, he
captained South Africa at the 2002 Under-19 World Cup, and he also
starred for South Africa A. As sure as he possesses the most
impressive beard in all the game, Amla is a candidate to become
South Africa's first non-white Test captain.
