Hashim Amla Backs South Africa’s Preparation Ahead Of India Test Opener, Praises Shubman Gill’s Leadership
Former South Africa: Former South Africa cricketer Hashim Amla believes that Temba Bavuma’s side is well-prepared for the challenge awaiting them in India, as the two-match Test series begins in Kolkata on Friday.
Speaking here ahead of the SA20 season launch, Amla said the team’s recent exposure in Pakistan and its methodical build-up will help them adapt quickly to subcontinental conditions.
“It’s the preparation that matters,” Amla said. “If I look at the South African team, as I mentioned earlier, they had just come from a Test series in Pakistan. For a big series like India, the best preparation is playing Test matches in the subcontinent against quality spinners and seamers. Many South African players were not involved in the one-day format, so credit goes to the think tank of the South African team for keeping the Test players in Test mode heading into a big series in India.”
