ESPNcricinfo staff19-Jan-2023
Hashim Amla.. where do I start?! Not easy. Might take me a few days, weeks, months, years.
I can literally write a book about you.
Humaam, thank you for always being there for me. You’ve always been a brother who made me feel safe in so many ways.

#HashimAmla an absolute legend bids farewell to the game. A great player, mentor and one of the best human beings I’ve ever met. It was an honour 2play against him & share the dressing room more recently. You’re an inspiration brother @amlahash – may Allah reward you & bless you

Brother # a legend and a true friend. Time to officially serve in a different capacity my man. Every cap you've had the privilege of wearing, you've done it with such poise and class. TO THOSE BEFORE US, TO THOSE TO COME, TODAY / TOMORROW WE WILL "ALWAYS" PLAY AS ONE @amlahash pic.twitter.com/fTGtV6KBFG

I remember when @amlahash signed for Essex as overseas years ago. Had his first bat on some spicy Chelmsford nets and middled every ball. What a player and great of the game. Enjoy retirement.
