When South Africa’s cricket team took to the pitch last week, one player was missing.
Quinton de Kock refused to play, after the players were told they must ‘take the knee’.
Sports teams around the world have adopted the gesture to take a stand against racism.
The former captain has since apologised and took the knee at the next match.
He explained that he was initially unhappy at being ordered to make the gesture…and at short notice.
But his hesitancy has fuelled debates about racism in South Africa, more than 25 years after the end of apartheid.
So, should players be forced to take the knee?
