Amla's commitment to Islam was one of the first things the world learnt about him
when he refused to wear the Castle logo on his kit, but even as a teenager he
was rooted in religion.
On an Under-19 tour, Amla asked room-mate Peterson whether he would mind
if Amla stayed up at night and woke up early to pray.
"I told him I had absolutely no problem with that," Peterson, who had extended
family who were Muslim and was well acquainted with the faith, said.
Amla's commitment to his faith inspired many of his team-mates, not just for
his dedication but for how he managed to make it all encompassing.
"As much as he is diligent and disciplined in his own faith, he is also extremely
tolerant of other people's beliefs," Kirsten said.
"That's what makes him the perfect team man."
