South Africa is bowling first in the match against Sri Lanka. Quinton de Kock is again part of the team, when the match began, with players from both teams kneeling in support of BLM on the field. Meanwhile, Quinton de Kock also supported the campaign by sitting on one knee behind the stump. Mentions that Quinton de Kock refused to support South Africa when they played their last match. So he did not find a place in the team, there was a lot of uproars and a statement was issued by South Africa cricket.
However, Quinton de Kock later apologized saying he was not a racist, nor did he want to humiliate his fellow players. Quinton ended the controversy by saying he was ready to sit on his knee in the coming match.
