“Thanks to everyone for the wishes, messages, and calls. Wow! It was truly an amazing journey with the Proteas, one that I was honored to be a part of. So many valuable lessons learned and countless memories made during an incredible #proteafire journey. It’s all the friends and teammates who have actually become family that I walk away richer for.

Until then I look forward to the next chapter of making more cricket memories on different grounds throughout the world,” Amla wrote in his post.
