But cricket may again take a back seat given that the national team will not be allowed to express themselves on the Black Lives Matter issue and the mixed messages around it‚ at least not in the form of taking the knee. With a 24-man squad from various racial and cultural backgrounds, there seemed to be a missing sensitivity on how the BLM issue could have been dealt with‚ even though the squad had attended a cultural camp at Skukuza to thrash out these issues.
It is clear that it’s still a major conversation and one that could have serious implications for the home team if England‚ who went out of their way to accommodate the West Indies in taking the knee in July‚ decide to take the knee while the South Africans don’t.
