Was Quinton de Kock wrong for refusing to take the knee?

Loading player...
Quinton de Kock withdrew from the Proteas match against the West Indies at the T20 World Cup on Tuesday after refusing to follow a directive forcing all players to take a knee.

To be clear, 'taking a knee' means kneeling on the ground, a gesture of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. It has been done by national teams in varying countries voluntarily at international sporting events since the death of George Floyd in the US.

His refusal and withdrawal is a controversial conversation in the country and in cricket and sports news internationally.
