"I kind of felt someone else could do a better job. I made my decision two weeks before the first Test against England," said Amla, who led the Proteas to four wins, four losses and six draws in his time at the helm of the Test team.
"I am deeply grateful and privileged to have been the Test captain and I wish to thank CSA for the honour of captaining my country. It was enjoyable and indeed a great learning experience." Amla said.
