The South African cricket players won’t take the knee in their limited-over series against England at home as they have already expressed their support towards the Black Lives Matter movement during the 3TC game in July, coach Mark Boucher has said. He is pretty happy that we have done what we needed to do, in particular, at that (3TC) game,” Mark Boucher was quoted by ESPNcricinfo. They’ve got the support and respect and empathy from every other player,” said Boucher. South Africa president Cyril Ramaphosa had declared Nov. 25-29 as national days of mourning for the lives lost to COVID-19 pandemic and gender-based violence. Boucher said the team may wear black arm bands to support the issues in line with the president’s call.
