They introduced a Quota system that forced the team to have a certain amount of black people in it which has caused the game to split many times over and is still a hotly debated topic.
In the recent T20 world cup the South Africa’s Cricket Board directed all its players in the International Tournament to take the knee in the unified support of Black Lives Matter. But De Kock refused to take the knee and did not make any gesture at all against Australia. Also, withdrew himself from the match against West Indies putting his International future in doubt.

But with a Black Captain in the shape of Temba Bavuma and the fact that one of the team players not taking the knee while every player from other countries did is a source of embarrassment.
