Cricket-South Africa batsman Amla yet to recover fully from blow to head
He returned to bat briefly later before South Africa were beaten by 104 runs. "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," South Africa team manager Mohammed Moosajee said in a statement on Sunday.
"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."
