A group of former Proteas‚ domestic players and coaches have come together in support of paceman Lungi Ngidi after his stance on the Black Lives Matters movement.

The group of 31 former Proteas and five senior coaches includes Makhaya Ntini‚ Vernon Philander‚ Ashwell Prince‚ Paul Adams‚ JP Duminy‚ Charl Langeveldt and Herschelle Gibbs.

“We see this as an opportunity for CSA to be unequivocal about its position and to make sure the problem is confronted‚ and we also invite our fellow white cricketers to join in this move to defend human dignity."Far too many white South Africans cannot accept that black cricketers have proved‚ time without end‚ that they are good enough to play at the highest level‚” the statement said.
