Former South Africa batsman Hashim Amla has joined Mzansi Super League (MSL) franchise Cape Town Blitz as a batting consultant.The second edition of the MSL starts on November 8, with the Blitz playing the opener against Jozi Stars in Johannesburg. But Amla will link up with the team, coached by Ashwell Prince, only on November 25, according to a club statement. By then, however, the Blitz would have played six of their ten group-stage games, ESPNcricinfo reported."Hashim has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the game and we're really looking forward to him bringing that to our management team," Prince said."There are obviously a few very promising young batsmen in our squad, and I think they will benefit immensely from having him around. It's also an opportunity for him to explore whether a position such as batting consultant could be something that he might want to take up in future. I have no doubt that he'd do a great job at it if he did," he added.The Blitz had earlier announced the signing of England allrounder Moeen Ali as cover for Pakistan paceman Wahab Riaz, who is away on national duty in Australia at the moment.Recently Amla had signed a two-year Kolpak contract with the Surrey Cricket.On August 8, Amla retired from all forms of international cricket.
