De Kock returns to South Africa XI, to take knee in T20 World Cup
Quinton de Kock on Saturday returned to the South Africa lineup in their Twenty20 World Cup clash against Sri Lanka after missing the previous match for his refusal to take the knee.
The star player later apologised and agreed to stand by his teammates in the anti-racism gesture that was made mandatory by Cricket South Africa ahead of the match against holders West Indies on Tuesday.
Skipper Temba Bavuma won the toss and elected to bowl first in their bid to win a second straight Super 12 match after they beat West Indies despite De Kock's pull out.
Bavuma said, "One change, Quinton is in for (Heinrich) Klaasen. The team is feeling much better than we were a couple of days ago. Quinton is in a much better state."
