Hashim Amla

Prolific South African batsman Hashim Amla could be the latest cricketer to land a Kolpak deal, according to iol.co.za. "South Africa's star batsman has been approached by various counties, among them a London club, to prolong his playing career on the English county circuit.

"Proteas fast bowler Morne Morkel has been lined up by Warwickshire, among others, to follow the likes of Hampshire duo Kyle Abbott and Rilee Rossouw, Stiaan van Zyl (Sussex) and Dane Vilas (Lancashire), who have all recently forgone their international careers in favour of lucrative long-term county contracts," said the website.
