Former selection convenor Andrew Hudson says the batsman should be in the World Cup squad to be named next week

So the Cobras’ confirmation on Friday that Amla was available “for at least the opening matches” in the T20 competition was welcomed as a sign of normal service resuming imminently. Could the stroke be evidence that he is getting back to the player he has been for the almost 20 years that have followed?Amla tried to tickle the next delivery to third man‚ like a right-handed Kepler Wessels‚ with a bat too wide of his body for the purpose. The resultant edge spilled the bails from his stumps‚ and that was that: 16 off 12‚ not the stuff grand comebacks are made of.
So Hendricks‚ too‚ will have to do better. He should get the chance to do so against the Dolphins at Kingsmead on Wednesday — when the Cobras will be in Benoni to play the Titans.
