ICC T20 World Cup | All eyes on De Kock as South Africa takes on sluggish Sri Lanka
The Hindu
But all the South African batters would need to be wary of the wily Sri Lankan spin duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana
Quinton de Kock, who had pulled out of the last game after refusing to take the knee, is likely to return when South Africa take on an inconsistent Sri Lanka in a Super 12 game of the T20 World Cup in Sharjah on Saturday.
De Kock on Thursday made himself available for his team’s remaining matches of the T20 World Cup, saying he is fine taking a knee if it “educates others” and that he was deeply hurt at being called a racist for not making the gesture against West Indies. His team had won that game by eight wickets.
The return of de Kock will also bolster the South African top-order and stylish southpaw himself would like to make a statement by scoring big.
