South Africa star opener Quinton de Kock has returned to the team’s XI in their T20 World Cup clash vs South Africa. de Kock was out of South Africa’s team in West Indies match after his last minute call not to take knee. The star player apologised and agreed to stand by the team in their anti-racism gestures.
De Kock remains the only change in the Proteas team with Heinrich Klaasen making way for the senior wicketkeeper-batsman.
“The team is feeling much better than we were a couple of days ago. Quinton is in a much better state,” Bavuma said at the toss.
“We obviously had some time to get away with the thing that’s been happening. Quinton is in a much better state. As a team we are good, we’re ready for the game today.”
