Amla played international cricket from 2004 to 2019 – and is currently with Surrey for the 2022 County Championship.

He has also been Peshawar Zalmi’s batting coach in the Pakistan Super League.

What Amla said

“I’m thrilled to take up this assignment with MI Cape Town. Big thanks to MI owners, management and my manager for facilitating this so smoothly. From everything they have planned, it looks like it’s going to be amazing platform that will attract our local talent,” said Amla.

“Bringing my experience as a player and mentor, I am excited to help MI Cape Town players bring the best out of themselves and also make SA cricket stronger.”

Peterson and Katich, too
