Amla could be last South African to 100 Tests - du Plessis

Hashim Amla is unique in many ways - his backlift, his beard, his batting records - and he could soon find himself the holder of another individual milestone. Test captain Faf du Plessis said there is a chance no other South African will follow in Amla's footsteps and play in 100 Tests.

"I am going to make a big call and say Hash (Amla) is probably going to be the last guy that plays 100 Tests for South Africa because of the way that the game is changing," du Plessis said. "Quinnie (de Kock) and KG (Rabada) are possibly looking at that as youngsters but it's a long way into the future."
