New Delhi: Kings XI Punjab have named South Africa batsman Hashim Amla as a replacement for Shaun Marsh, who was ruled out of IPL 2016 due to a back injury. According to espncricinfo.com, KXIP have obtained the required clearances for Amla's stint with the team and he is expected to join the side soon. Interestingly, Amla is yet to make his IPL debut.
