Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) acting chief executive officer, Jacques Faul, says the organisation stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.
In a press release sent to the media on Thursday evening, CSA stressed that the organisation was founded on the principles of non-racialism and inclusion.
He said their vision was to become a truly national sport of winners, supported by the majority, which found resonance in the ethos of the BLM movement.
The statement from CSA follows a Twitter war of words after former Proteas Pat Symcox, Boeta Dippenaar and others called out current South African fast bowler, Lungi Ngidi, over his stance on the BLM movement, which he expressed in an interview earlier in the week.
Faul said it was important that CSA use their voice to educate and listen to others regarding discrimination.
