South African Test skipper Hashim Amla has admitted that it would take time to find a winning combination for the future after opening batsman Alviro Petersen announced his retirement from international cricket.
South Africa also saw veteran all-rounder and former skipper Graeme Smith retiring from international cricket within the last 12 months.
Amla, who succeeded Graeme Smith as South Africa's Test captain in March, said that the team would always change with the new faces in it, and to find the winning combination was still their main goal, Sport24 reported.
