Cricket SA defends decision to pull U19 captain following pro-Israel comments

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has come under fire for removing David Teeger as SA U19 captain after he made a statement in support of Israel’s military action against Palestine, describing the soldiers as "true rising stars".

This call comes one week before the World Cup, after CSA expressed their concerns for the safety of Teeger and all teams involved.

Naidoo reassures that the decision has nothing to do with his political views and beliefs.

Lester Kiewit interviews Lawson Naidoo, Chairperson of the Board of Directors at Cricket South Africa (CSA).

This interview took place on 15 January 2024.
