World Cup for refusing to take a knee before their match against West Indies on Tuesday, Quinton de Kock remains with South Africa’s squad in the United Arab Emirates, though his future at the competition remains uncertain.
South Africa have the benefit of a few days to prepare for their next game, against Sri Lanka on Saturday, when their players will again be expected to take the knee. Though the emerging controversy did not appear to distract them as they beat West Indies by eight wickets in Dubai on Tuesday it will not simply go away, at least until De Kock himself does.
