Quinton de Kock on Tuesday withdrew from South Africa’s Twenty20 World Cup match against the West Indies “for personal reasons” after refusing to take the knee.
Skipper Temba Bavuma said the wicketkeeper-batsman, a former national captain, had made himself unavailable in their crucial Super 12 game in Dubai. The decision raised eyebrows as De Kock, 28, had previously refused to take part in the anti-racism gesture that has become a regular feature in most sporting events.
CSA take note
“Cricket South Africa (CSA) has noted the personal decision by South African wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock not to take the knee ahead of Tuesday’s game against the West Indies,” said a CSA statement.
