XtraTime Web Desk: South Africa’s star opener Hashim Amla didn’t feature in the team’s second match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 against Bangladesh at the Oval as he failed to fully recover from a blow which he got on his helmet on Thursday against England. Though the Proteas team management is hoping that he will be fully fit ahead of India game that will be played on June 5.
“Hashim hasn’t fully recovered from the blow sustained to the helmet during the match against England on Thursday and is not available for selection for the match today. With the quick turnaround between the two matches, he is being rested as a precaution, based on our post-match re-assessment. We are hopeful that he will make a full recovery to be available for selection for our next match against India,” said Proteas team manager, Dr Mohammed Moosajee
