By George Ramsay, CNNSouth African cricketer Quinton de Kock has made the “personal decision” not to take a knee before games at the ongoing T20 World Cup. His decision comes after the Cricket South Africa (CSA) board announced that all players would be required to take a knee before World Cup games in the United Arab Emirates. The 28-year-old de Kock did not feature in South Africa’s game against the West Indies on Tuesday. In the English Premier League, for example, players have been taking a knee before games since the 2019/20 season. And after Indian cricketers took the knee before their T20 World Cup game against Pakistan on Sunday, some felt the players should have instead done more to highlight issues in India.
