South African wicketkeeper-batsman Quentin de Kock has
apologized for not kneeling before the match against the West Indies in the ICC
Men’s T20 World Cup Super 12 stage.
According to details, Cricket South Africa has issued an
apology to Quentin de Kok on Twitter in which he has apologized for his
behavior.
“I apologize to my teammates and fans, if my knees help
educate others and improve the lives of others, I will be happy to do so,” the
cricketer said in a statement.
“I understand the importance of standing up against racism
and the responsibility of the players to set an example, but just because I
didn’t get down in the match against the West Indies doesn’t mean I didn’t
respect anyone,” Cook said. ۔
“We were told on our knees on the morning of the match that we
were going to play,” he said.
The wicketkeeper said in an apology that if anyone’s heart
has been shown, I am very sorry, Black Lives is very important to me, I am not
a racist.
“There is nothing better for me than playing for my country.
I would be happy to play if I was included in the team,” he said.
