Cape Town, May 4: Former South Africa Test skipper Hashim Amla, who was on Tuesday included in the Kings XI Punjab franchise, is excited to make his debut in the cash-rich Indian Premier League 2016 (IPL 9).

Despite an impeccable record with the willow in Test matches, Amla failed to find any takers during any of the IPL auctions. Amla's inclusion in the Kings XI Punjab squad comes only as a replacement for injured Australian Shaun Marsh, who has been ruled out with a back injury for the rest of this season's IPL.
Excited to be with @lionsdenkxip for the remainder of the @ipl. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the support peeps
