    Former Australia batsman Jones lost his job as a commentator after a deluge of complaints from South African viewers. </p>

    Amla has since accepted Jones' apology, saying he wants to &quot;forgive and forget&quot; but remains saddened by the episode. </p>

    &quot;I am a human being as well and it deeply hurt me when I heard that,&quot; Amla said on his return to South Africa. </p>

    The 23-year-old was left out of the one-day squad for the triangular series also involving India. </p>

    And he now wants to draw a line under the affair. </p>

    &quot;What's taken place has happened and we just have to be big enough to get on with life,&quot; Amla added. </p>

    &quot;I've got a bright future in cricket and that's what I want to concentrate on. I don't want to get involved in controversies.&quot; </p></font>
