Hashim Amla to lead in final ODI against West Indies

28th January, Centurion - Hashim Amla will lead the team in absence of AB de Villiers in the final ODI match of the series against West Indies at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Wednesday. AB de Villiers has been rested for the match.

Quinton de Kock makes a return to the line-up after a speedy recovery from a left ankle injury sustained in December.

The Proteas would like to finish the series on a winning note. "As a team we want to be winning. 4-1 sounds better than 3-2 and the benefit of being in the position that we are in is giving the guys an opportunity which is just as important as winning.” - Amla said in a media interaction.

The Proteas have three more matches before their opening match of the ICC 2015 World Cup match against Zimbabwe in Hamilton on February 15. Before World Cup, they are scheduled to play warm-up matches against Sri Lanka and New Zealand in Christchurch.
