De Kock protest after South Africa team ordered to take knee

Associated Press  

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Quinton de Kock refused to play in a T20 World Cup game against the West Indies on Tuesday in protest after Cricket South Africa ordered its players to take a knee before matches in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. In a second statement responding to de Kock’s withdrawal from Tuesday’s game, CSA said it noted the wicketkeeper-batsman’s “personal decision” not to take a knee and would decide on its next course of action after a report from team management. CSA said it decided to force players to take a knee after “concerns were raised” about the “different postures” taken ahead of warmup matches and the team’s first World Cup game against Australia on Saturday. “Diversity can and should find expression in many facets of our daily lives, but not when it comes to taking a stand against racism,” said CSA chairman Lawson Naidoo in defense of the new policy, which seemingly now means players must take a knee if they want to play.
